I always preferred 4days when I was working. Didn't always get the chance.
From Forbes. Microsoft’s Japan office experimented with a four day workweek in August, resulting in a 40% productivity boost, with over 90% of employees reporting they preferred the shorter week—which aligns with previous studies that show greater work-life balance makes for more productive employees.
In addition to a burst of productivity, Microsoft Japan reported it used about 23% less electricity and printed around 59% fewer pages during the experiment. Microsoft Japan will conduct a second experiment over the winter and will encourage more flexible working, but it won’t include the shorter work week. But previous studies show that giving employees more flexibility increases productivity; a New Zealand company permanently adopted the four day workweek in 2018, after a trial resulted in a 24% productivity increase.

I am disqualifying myself from answering as I am neck deep in a hot tub in Palm Springs on a week’s vacation. If I could answer I would vote for a zero day workweek.
Seriously though our our company, like many others, is moving to “work at home” and I have found that I get more done in a day with my laptop on the kitchen table then I can dodging people in my office all day. Hopefully in six months it won’t matter as I will be moving into the ranks of the great retired.
