Since you're training to compete, I wouldn't use 5/3/1. Wendler wrote that out of him trying to go from elite powerlifter to just maintaining a decent strength base. Most of us on the forum that are doing this are only competing with our own PRs.
By the way, some pretty good numbers to build on. Look forward to following your progress.
