Coreboot is better, look into Coreboot, https://www.coreboot.org. Otherwise I would rank UEFI above BIOS in terms of security. GPT is part of the UEFI standard, but can be used with legacy BIOS. Coreboot, UEFI, and legacy BIOS are not clearly related to partition tables, which is what MBR and GPT are. Both are fine in the context of Qubes. Stock templates are built using gpt. Great, thank you both - I actually wasnt clear on how BIOS, Coreboot, and UEFI relate to MBR and GPT.
