For me, upper/lower split is really doing it for me.

A full body workout 2-3 times a week helped my the most. Much easier to maintain - missing one workout is not THAT big a deal unlike a 4-5 split where it throws it all off.

At some point in time, they have all worked "best" for me. Training is purposeful, thus it follows then that training organization will also be. However, because purposes differ, training organizations will be reflective of this difference. Then, in the context of a purpose, one has to subsequently address the needs of that purpose. Some needs, for instance, relate to training experience. These must be approached contextually, as entirely related to each other. With that in mind, then, I trust, once you decipher what I've said, that you'll understand why none of these approaches are "wrong" nor are they "best."

As Serpens notes, plus...
I'm most ENJOYING a 3x/week, full-body STRENGTH progression.
5-6 days was great as a bodybuilding rotation and a 4-day upper/lower seemed the most balanced for focusing on more than one or the other (strength vs BBing)."Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret."
Training regularly but no progress?
You need one or more of these: more food, more weight, more reps or more rest.
