Either one is possible, along with dozens of other words, but neither one is ideal. A deep memory is hard to recall, so it is hard to tell what you mean. A strong memory happens all at once, so it is not so appropriate to say he has it in general.
My suggestion: John vividly remembers his most important childhood event.
