Both work. I normally speed up my workouts by alternating my Incline presses and cable curls for 5x5, and I do concentration curls (drop sets), along with
Bradford presses and triceps pushdowns as a giant set without any rest between them.
The more time between your benchpress sets the more fully you can recover, and thus handle more weight. This is helpful for increasing your 1 rep max, but may not be the best way to get big.
