It depends on your goals, but studies have shown that working a muscle group 2-3 (preferably 3) will show significantly better results than 1 time per week. That's why I dig full-body routines.
However, they each offer certain benefits over the other, so it depends on what your goals are. Full-body is much better for overall conditioning and fat loss, and you can still gain mass on them (especially if you're a beginner). Split workouts are good, too, once you feel the need to progress up a little and change it up. But it's always good to rotate between the two types over the year to keep things fresh.
