Theres a lot more to this question. MBR is limited to 2.2tb or less So if your drive is more it will be cut off (there are ways around this). Also GPT is newer and allows for more partitions (should you chose that) and its recovery abilities are more robust should you have some sort of failure.

If you aren't using it yet and its not a lot of work, GPT is preferable.
