Higher Carb Dieting, Training to Failure & Rest Periods

Dieting on a higher carbohydrate vs. a higher fat intake. There are generally two different considerations on this. One is shorter term, more geared towards aesthetics and physique. The other is a longer term approach and more health and longevity focused.

Training to failure versus training to 1-2 RIR? (Reps in Reserve.) What about going high such as 3RIR and 4RIR?

Optimal Rest Period length? Short rest periods (60 seconds) versus longer rest periods (3+ minutes) What are the implications of each on factors such as volume, rep execution, maintaining intra set performance, do these effect muscle stimulus, etc.
