IMO it really doesn't matter. Your goal should just be increasing the strength of your abdominals so it'll transfer to your core lifts. If you don't like the increased volume doing a few different variations of abs work, then I'd stick to one exercise...

I personally like doing weighted situps on the decline bench or using the high pulley with the rope attachment and doing crunches on one of those big rubber balls they have at my gym. I think that as long as you get a good stretch between reps, it'll help to recruit more abs into the crunch.

In my opinion, heavy abs work is necessary for increased squatting and deadlifting numbers. I don't remember what the program calls for, but I'm having good results with doing a 5 x 10 heavy as I can handle for abs. Start off with 3 x 10 and see how you feel.
