Definitely GPT. Anything else would be a real 'disk-aster' waiting to happen!

Haha, I can just imagine the sysadmin trying to use MBR and running into a wall at 2TB. That would be a real 'partitioning problem'!

I second that! GPT is the standard for large drives these days. VMFS and ZFS are more for virtualization and NAS, so they're not the right choice here.
