I have both the five wood at 18° and the three hybrid at 20°. I like the five wood over the three hybrid because I can hit it farther and higher, I can also choke down for a little less distance.
I like to get to any golf outing at least an hour before I tee off. I usually spend 30 minutes on the range, then 30 minutes on the putting and chipping green. That's worked out for me fairly well most of the time.
