For maximum security, you can use the old approach of
using fdisk + disklabel (creating slice, creating partitions
within slice). This also delivers most compatibility for
other systems, if it should be needed, e. g. in a multiboot
environment.

This is probably a dumb question, but does gpart even work on a USB

Yes, gpart will work with pretty much any storage

If you want the drive to be bootable, it needs boot blocks. This is
easier with GPT than MBR. For an 8G drive:
# gpart create -s gpt da0
# gpart add -t freebsd-boot -s 512k da0
# gpart bootcode -b
