If I had to choose between 4 and 3 days, 4 would be better. I would do like a upper/lower 6 days a week though. Increase weight every week if you can while keeping good form. Don't change exercises unless you can't progress.

I would stick to a 3 day, while keeping cardio to a minimum. You want to try to increase the weight/reps each week if possible. But the overall question of a specific routine for an ectomorph doesn't make any sense because that is just a body type, the only thing that should matter is how your macros are. If you're an ecto you need to bulk.

Well I would advise you to go on a 3 days full body workout. Splits are not really good for beginners because you can get much more mass and strengh gain by having a higher frequency of training. I would recommend you JasonDB routine, it's based on strengh AND hypertrophy. Because you're fresh starting you should try to increase weight by 5-10lbs (2-5kgs) per workout or per week depending on the individual.
Also don't forget to eat on a surplus or else you will not grow! Good luck.

I second this, and if you want a split I would say 3 days split x2, meaning hit your muscle groups twice a week
