Don't know what technology you're working with, but the Windows distinction between Delete and SHIFT-Delete comes to mind. It's not the same becuase they're both mediated, but it's an exmple of the user selecting one of two different actions to perform, which might work in your case.
In a sense it comes down to user types. Mediated deletion (or undoable deletion) suits novices, hence it should be easier. Experts might want efficiency of immediate delete, and they can be expected to learn a "shift-delete" or equivalent to achieve it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
