Depends. What is the read to write ratio for each site? If you're doing relatively few writes you're probably better off with 1 master and 3 slaves. If you're doing lots of writes, go with 2 masters and 2 slaves.
Also, don't overlook the value of http accelerators (reverse caches) on heavily dynamic sites.
