Do whatever you can stick to over time. Choose whatever your favourite is now, swap when you plateau or get bored(give it atleast 10 weeks though, pussy)

5x5 is more beginner and "use it 'till you plateau" then switch programs.

Confused. do you mean 5/3/1 or is this something different?

I watched a video recently by Greg doucette who is a pro bodybuilder and has a degree in workout science. Studies show sets with 8-12 reps are optimal for muscle growth in terms of size. If you looking to just get stronger though, lower reps.
