Which one is more effecient?
Which one causes more growth?
Is 1 true srt until full failure better than 3sets?
( not weekly, per ex )

More volume can be better can also be worse if intensity sucks possibly. Either way works as long as intensity is high enough, but higher volume maybe is more liable to "work". One set to failure is more advanced and more like you need to know what you are doing, doing slow negatives on each rep, pausing in the stretched and holding the contracted positions... you can also throw in some forced/cheated negatives, myo reps, dropset etc too in that one set for even more intensity.

Just stick to one protocol and make sure to progressively overload(reps, weight, set, intensity) every workout if u can
No need to overcomplicate it

Based on most of the studies it is suggested to do higher volumes but as u said doing 1 set to actual failure is really benefecial especially if u know what ur doing. Although wouldn't recommend it for a beginner what i would recommend is doing 2-3 working sets

I agree, doing one set to failure properly takes experience. For beginners it is better to do more volume because that is more "safe" and more guaranteed to work. One set to failure on a lot of exercises works well for me because I know what I am doing with years of experience + have studied this topic and anatomy and biomechanics etc for years lol.
