Hit everything, every session. The best split for three days a week.
A full body workout trains your whole body each session. On three days a week that means every muscle gets trained three times, which is why it is the highest-frequency, most efficient way to train when time is tight.

Every session touches the major movements: a squat or hinge, a push, a pull, and a little core. Nothing is left for a day that might get skipped.
Because each muscle is hit three times a week on a 3 day plan, you can grow on surprisingly little per-session volume, which keeps workouts short and recoverable.
Add a little weight whenever you hit the top of the rep range on the main lift, since you see each lift three times a week the small jumps add up fast.
Every 6 to 8 weeks take a lighter week. Because you train the whole body often, systemic fatigue is the thing to watch, so cut sets and load and let it clear.
For beginners especially, frequency wins: training a muscle three times a week with moderate volume tends to beat one big hammering session. Full body on 3 days delivers that automatically, plus the usual progressive overload, which is why nearly every good beginner program is full body.
Yes, especially for beginners and busy trainees. High frequency plus progressive overload builds muscle very reliably.
Three is the classic and the sweet spot. Two works when time is tight.
Full body if you train 2 to 3 days, a split like PPL or upper lower once you can train 4 or more.
Yes, pick Bodyweight or Dumbbells in the builder for a full program.
About 45 to 60 minutes if you keep to the essential lifts.
