UEFI is the newer system, GPT have no 2 TB size limitation for the system disk and allows more partitions directly, for an msdos parted disk (MBR) you would need an extended partition to have more than 4 partitions, but with regard to the performance I see no nameable difference if you use an SSD. I run my device as tripple boot together with Windoze on BIOS/MBR since years without any issue.
Only make sure not to mix BIOS/UEFI between the OS when you are thinking about dual boot, must be the same if you want to use the grub bootloader to boot all your OS.
