Personally I do 3x8

Never really heard of 3x5.

3x8=24
5x5=25

makes more sense to me.

3x5 is okay.
Rippetoe goes by it.

The sets don't matter as much as the reps do (sets still matter though).

Uh, so to get big like a bodybuilder, I should do up to 20 reps of a weight? Yeah, right.

During sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, the volume of sarcoplasmic fluid in the muscle cell increases with no accompanying increase in muscular strength.

What's your point? That means your muscles get huge. That is the type of training bodybuilders do.

5x5 has more total volume, but it comes at the price of intensity. 3x5 uses a heavier load, thereby stimulating bigger gains.
