Progression is pretty slow on 5/3/1. If you're below 315 squat for 1 rep max and 225 bench for 1 rep max, I'd say go with upper/lower. You'll get more progress over time. Remember, progressive overload and caloric surplus are vital to muscle and strength gains!
500+ Just say rep back

I'd lean towards the upper lower, it will allow you to progress quickly enouhpgh and get to the big numbers.
Good luck bro
