Re: Floyd rose: 3 springs vs 5 springs
I had to buy two more springs for my Jackson RR1. And I only use 10-46 strings! Anyhow, there is a bit more tension on the bridge, but I don't feel it comprimises my whammy comfort to much 'cause the replacement springs were soft and spring-y feeling. I think most of the time it's just outta necessity springs are used by players.

It´s mostly preference, more springs = more tension = less responsive trem, slightly thicker sound.
but it´s also dictated by string guage and tuning... if you play 12s in standard such as I do for example, there´s no way you´re getting off with only 3 springs

I just use three (10-52s, full step down). I like the more responsive trem.

Re: Floyd rose: 3 springs vs 5 springs
I can get away with 11-52s in standard and 3 springs and it feels better when using the trem, but any string gauge above that requires more springs to sit flush.

I use two springs and 9s with a backstop, and for me it's the best possible setup. The backstop lets you do double-stop bends but the bar still has an easy feel and plenty of pull-up, plus the ability to fluter the trem is still present (though less wild than without the backstop).
