Should I use all my recommendation letters?

So, I have 4 recommendation letters and a committee letter. I want to use all of them because I feel like they will all be very strong. 2 are from professors I really got to know, sat in the front of class, went to office hours a lot. 1 is from my research professor I spent a whole summer with and have a publication with. 1 is from a doctor I went to Honduras with. Then the committee. Should I use less than this?

5 is perfectly fine, especially because they are all from people you got to know on a personal level. So if anybody asks you about any of them, you can tell your personal connection instead of saying "Oh I got an A in their class...".

Some schools have a maximum allowed. I know I've seen four before. So I would prioritize them and then send them in that order. Sending 5 if 5 is allowed will not be a negative.

But again, it's kind of like in a PS or your works/activities... if it isn't adding something strong to your app, it may just seem like fluff.
