Should I run them @ 5k pace, 10k pace or slightly faster than 5k pace? How much rest, 1min, 2min or 3min?

Just run the turkey trot.
How am I supposed to give you advice if you don't even tell me what your training for, when your next race is, and what part of the training phase your in?
Do as Kenyan do.
Put away watch and run by feel.
Run hard.
If you get to 8 and feel good add more intervals. If you get to 6 and feel awful stop the workout.
Feel it. Don't think it.
Training is about sharpening the mind as much as the body.
As Bhudda said "Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it". You cannot do that with a Garmin forerunner 5200x.
Run them at your goal pace for whatever distance you are focusing on.
If you are focusing on quality reps, do 1-2 min standing rest. If you want a hard workout, do 200m jogs in between.
A staple college workout for me was 16x400. Usually 30 seconds rest. That wasn't bad, it was that same workout with a 100m jog rest that really made it tough. You could even start out doing the first 3-4 with a minute rest, reevaluate, then kick it down to 1:30 or 2 minutes rest for the next 4.
If I wanted to gut a workout out, really kill myself, then I'd go for short rest, or jog rests. If I wanted quality pace work, I'd take JUST enough rest to hold me at the threshold but not put me over the edge.

all of the above and none at the same time. depends what you are trying to achieve.
assuming you don't know what to ask because you simply don't know, make it a classic vo2max workout. pace is 3k race pace. jog a lap between reps.
Are you running this because of Bart Yasssssssssso?
LMAO!
See what Runner's World thinks, and maybe opt in with your e-mail for the BIG BOOK of Running.
Dont know if this helps but today i did 8x800m on a concrete path. Recovery was based on you get 5 mins for each rep and recovery, so the quicker you run the more recovery you get. I averaged 2.20s (therefore got on average 2.40s recovery). Training for a 5k race btw. Good luck.
