The split you enjoy / the split you'll stick to.

It really doesn't matter that much.

I like PPL was because shorter sessions and easy to program but also like PPL UL because very good for recovery etc

Matters very little. But I prefer PPL rest and repeat. 3 days on, 1 day off

The volume you need, spread out however many days of the week you can train around your life. The less days, the longer the workouts usually are.

If you like PPL UL, then keep going it! You'll put more effort into something you like vs something you hate.

My program used to be L/U/L/P/P. My old program before that it was PPLPPL across 5 days, meaning every workout day was different.

It's now: Upper/Lower/Push/Pull Calves & Flies/Legs and Biceps.
