Is it better to workout one muscle a day? Or do several of them? If so what muscles would be good to work together?

There are tons of ways to split routines... chest/back, bis/tris, legs/abs... whatever... it's really not 'better' to do one or the other.

Lately, I've been doing full body routines... get 'em all in three hours a week.

Also depends on how much time you want to spend per session.

A split that I've become very fond of is:
Monday-Chest and Biceps
Wednesday-Back and Triceps
Friday-Legs and Shoulders
My body has responded very well to the idea of Large muscle/small muscle training pairings.
