I'd go with three because I tend to find between myself and other people that twice a week frequency training is usually the "sweet spot." I'd be able to give much better advice though if I saw sample templates or programming of all the splits, however.

I think something like this would really be good for mass:

chest/tris
back/bis
shoulders/traps/legs
off
repeat

That's what I was thinking.

I imagine any of those 3 could be great for gaining mass...or terrible. Wouldn't it depend alot on the exercise selection, intensity, volume, and recovery ability of the trainee? Not to mention their diet, of course...

Right, if you aren't programming these right and eating well you aren't going to gain any mass.
