Which is better: Hitting a muscle harder on 1 day vs splitting the work over several days

I notice that compound sets (different exercises, same muscle group) tend to beat me up and either reduce the weight I lift or increase my rest times, whereas supersets (different exercises, different muscle groups) result in a more fluid workout.

So I'm tempted to go with supersets, but of course the downside is if I start splitting tricep focused compound sets into tricep/bicep supersets I will not focus as hard on the tris in any given workout.

Is this bad for hypertrophy? Or does it not matter if the weekly volume per muscle is the same?
