Well, I guess it depends on your goals. To gain size, a pyramid works better, gradually increasing weight, and decreasing reps, then back again, lower weight higher reps.
But, sometimes to mix things up I will do same weight same reps for an entire workout just to keep the muscles guessing!
I think it depends how long you have been training. If you are a beginner, straight sets are definetly the way to go. If you've been training for a while, pyramid all the way.
I use to pyramid but find it better now to start with a weight I can do 10-12 reps (after warmup) to failure and keep that same weight through my sets.
