One thing you should NOT do is.... NOT post the same question 4 times.

I agree. There was no reason to post this four times in a row like that, it's only necessary to post once. People will answer your questions. 5 x 5 is a good rep/set scheme; however, IMO if you would aim for 5 x 5 it should be ramping sets. The biggest benefit to 5 reps is lifting with a lot of intensity (weight), if you were to do 5 straight sets of the same intensity, you'd have to lift very light weight, so aim for ramping sets.
Example- you want your final set to be 5 reps with 225.

Set 1- 135 x 5
Set 2- 155 x 5
Set 3- 185 x 5
Set 4- 205 x 5
Set 5- 225 x 5

A person of the same strength that would choose a more steady rep range (like me) would choose 3 x 5.

Set 1- 210 x 5
Set 2- 210 x 5
Set 3- 210 x 5

It's whatever you choose.
