Hello 3-5g sounds perfect. here is a guide I wrote a little while back:

You will find some varying information, (some disagreements in areas on here) but hope this thread helps you on your way. Congrats on the way to bettadom! If you need any inspiration let me know and I can post some pics lol! The main thing to note on the tank is silk or real plants not plastic. Do have a heater and with the filter be aware it may need to be adapted as bettas do not like alot of water flow. xx

If you have space for 5 gallons GET 5 gallons. Don't go smaller if you have room for the larger. Your betta needs the space and the larger tank will actually be far easier for you to take care of to keep your fish healthy.
