Number of sets/reps for deadlifts

[wisdommaster1]

I am going to be starting a new routine: push/pull/legs

anyway i am not sure how many sets/reps of dl's i should do. All of my other exercises are going to be 3x8. also dl's are pretty much my only lower back exercise unless i decide to throw in hyperextensions which i probably will.

so whats your guys opinions should i do:
3x8 or 3x5 or 5x5

my main goal for this routine is to gain size with some strength.

if all you others are 3X8 might as well stay consistant...

I'm doing a 12,10,8,6 on deads, squats, and bench. It's been working well on deads so far.
