depends on a lot of factors. What do you work (or do you work at all?), how is your diet etc...
Personally, i feel the best on a 4 day split, but occasionally go on a 5 day split.
Trainingwise, i haven't had any bad results from a 2 part split done 3 times a week. (ABA-style)

thats exactly what im doing. U dont have any overlap and u can hit everything hard and heavy and give it plenty time to recover.

+ working tris after chest and bis after back saves time too, since you only have to do half as much for them. They're warm and already halfway done 8)

Personally, I've found training 3 days a week to be the best. I got this routine from Dorian Yates book and it was the rountine he used for 4 years in the lead up to his first crack at the British Championships in '86.
Basically it was a 2 day split:
Workout One
Chest
Back
Delts
Abs
Workout Two
Thighs
Hamstrings
Calves
Biceps
Triceps
Both workouts took approximately 60 mins
And the split was like this:
Week One
Monday.........Workout One
Tuesday........Rest
Wednesday....Workout Two
Thursday.......Rest
Friday...........Rest
Saturday.......Workout One
Sunday.........Rest
Week Two
Monday.........Workout Two
Tuesday........Rest
Wednesday....Rest
Thursday.......Workout One
Friday...........Rest
Saturday.......Workout Two
Sunday.........Rest
It's a brutal routine, and is both physically and mentally demanding, but the results will speak for themselves.
