It all depends on what you're using her for. For pure speed, 3/5/5 is better since you're able to use your Recon one match sooner, which is useful in a number of scenarios (most notably against low AP skill users). However, in any scenario where that extra speed is not needed, 5 in Purple will offer far more definitive control. Stealing Black is a nice bonus if you bring a character with an active Black, but the most obvious benefit comes from the Purple. It becomes ridiculously cost efficient if your enemy has Purple AP stocked, not to mention that 5 Purple OBW is OBWs own nightmare. Even if the enemy OBW managed a steal from you, you'll quickly steal that back - with interest.
