I have been told that 5 blade props are used exclusively for high speed top end so its mostly bass boats and race boats that use em.
I was also told bigger heavier boats might do better with 4 blade props but the average boat doesn't need anything more then 3 blades unless there are other contributing factors requiring more stern lift.

in most cases this is the better solution but more blades will add more stern lift from the prop so it can help you plan better at slower speeds
