> Simple question: should this be an extended or primary partition?

Extended partitions were invented to overcome the fact that PC
boot sectors (where the partition table is held) are limited
to only 4 partitions. If you aren't going to put more than
4 partitions on the disk then you don't need to use an extended
partition.
