The hardware clock should always be set to UTC (formerly GMT).
Then you should select the appropriate timezone (e.g. Europe/London).
(Consider a machine which is being used by people in different
countries; the machine has a default timezone, but each user can set a
session timezone to suit his own location:

The only time you want the hardware clock on local time is when you are
dual-booting Windows, since Windows runs with local time in the hardware
clock.
