if the rate is the same, yes.
here's why:

On paper, your payment will be much lower than it would if you did a 5 year, but you can always pay them the 5 year amount and it will pay off in that 5 years. but next time you need to borrow, your DTI ( debt to income ) ratio will appear lower.
You just have to have the discipline to make that higher than required payment EVERY month.
