If I had to pick one I would pick the first one. You gotta be lifting in the 85-100 range if you're gonna gain strength. Personally though I don't like either one. This is what I do:

(All lifts start with a 4-6 rep warmup at about 50-60%)
Week 1 & 2 - 4 x 6 @ 80%
Week 3 & 4 - 3 x 4 @ 85%
Week 5 & 6 - 3 x 3 @ 90%
Week 7 & 8 - 3 x 2 @ 95%
Week 9 - Off
Rinse/Repeat

You saw that cycle on a web site? Dangit, I am going to have to copyright that thing, lol. Just kidding, but in all seriousness I just came up with it on my own after doing lots of research. Glad to see other experienced people agree with me, haha.
