Favorite 5/3/1 Day?

Been doing 5/3/1 for 7 months now and have decided that my favorite day is 5/3/1 day. I much prefer lifting closer to 1RM at few reps. Just fits me better. My perfect workout is a warmup, and then 5/3/1 where I hit 3 reps on the last set. Then whatever accessory work I had planned.
To be honest, I am seriously thinking about just doing 5/3/1 every week for legs and add 10 lbs each week. Kindof a cross between 5/3/1 and Starting Strength. I hate repping DL. I don't ever do any BBB or additional sets on DL's. I would rather do 5x3 than 3x5 on squats. I love BBB work on squats. I'm ok with the standard 5/3/1 for bench and OHP as those are progressing slowly.
So, what's your favorite 5/3/1 day?

Definitely 5/3/1 day. I hate doing high reps of anything. It's to the point where on 5s week, I'll just do the requisite 5s a lot of the time. And then I'll generally be able to do 5 on 3s week too. And then on 5/3/1 week I can still do 5 on deadlifts and 3 on the rest. Eventually I'll add enough weight that the reps will be close to the actual 5, 3 and 1. Someday.0

Sunday is my favorite 5/3/1 Day. No lifting, no sprinting, no pushing/dragging...rest day.
