It can depend on what you are looking for. I think all the smps are great but personally, I prefer 5. I think overall compared to the other smps it has more mature players. The chat is more respectful and tends to be more about minecraft and technical aspects of it and less just idle chatter. It's just my personal preference.
Please come to 3 toade, we need someone like you there I have composed a poem to describe why I want you to come to 3: Roses are red, Violets are blue, Please come to 3 toade, Or I'll eat my shoe
I have to agree. We don't have marrying fish but it seems to have more of the cerebral players on 5. I have learned a lot from just watching the chat with players discussing mob farm designs, new aspects to updates, etc...
Toade just come join Lucky, BK, Seffy and I on 8 Become one with the fishies! And I am pretty sure toades and fish get along just fine
I can understand that 8 probably needs more mod oversight but from an overall server effectiveness perspective does it make sense to have the majority of mods congregated all on one smp?
