I'd go with the full-body 3x for starters.
It will depend on how hard you want to work and your body's recovery where the gains happen. If you work really hard you will want more days in between with no strength training. If you work more lightly each day, then maybe your body can recover.

If you split things up to let the muscle groups rest, there are whole-body hormonal effects that happen every day, and that can slow down the gains. Those 5 day splits work best for young males, for a while, then the big guys start leaving 4-5 days between sessions when the going gets big.

since you like something new each day, have you looked into a 3x per week for the strength training, and for the days off from lifting, other kinds of movement? like mobility, agility, play?
