I'm new to Qualtrics. One 3x5 design survey or 15 surveys?

Hi there,
I wanted to understand if there's a difference between setting up a survey with branch logic and embedded data for conditions (for a 3x5 design) or simply setting up 15 different surveys.
I'm in a bit of rush to create and launch the survey and wanted to know if there would be a difference in the results (I would request 100 participants for each survey - ~1500 survey participants).
Thank you!

Generally we would approach this based on how you need to use the results.
If each of the 15 iterations would be standalone sets of results, that have a lot of variability and no intention for the results to be consolidated or compared, we would do them as separate surveys, to simplify the development/execution process.
If the iterations are largely similar, likely to need to be consolidated, or there's a high likelihood that there will be a need to compare the results between version, we would do it as one survey with embedded data to simplify the analysis process.

Thank you CarolK ! I have to then ask the follow-up question (in another thread) on how to set this up.
