Solution
Hey there, Spankus!
Well, you might as well format it in MBR. This format is usually used with any drive below 2.2 TB. It is the standard partitioning scheme and it supported up to 4 partitions on the drive. If you want to have more than 4 partitions on it, then I guess you should go with GPT.
If you were to have a 3TB, let's say, then you wouldn't have any choice and would need to format it in GPT.
Here's a link that explains the difference between the two partition schemes in details:
