New hard drive MBR or GPT

Hi, I just bought a new hard drive and when I go into disk managment it says that it needs to initialize the disk before disk manager can recognize it and wants to know if it will be a MBR (master boot record) or an GPT (GUID partition table). I will be using this drive for FSX and storage. Which should I use?
Thanks Mark
