Shawn,
Both methods can work for you. As long as you are progressive with your workout. Research shows that you can make just as many gains with one set to failure as you can with three sub max sets. If time is of a concern, one set is all you need, provided you can push to failure. What it really comes down to is what you enjoy. I have been training for most of my life and I don't like to train for more than an hour a workout. I train relatively hard for probably 45 minutes then let my body recover before I train again. What most people fail to realize is that you get stronger on your days off not the days you train.
