ThinkPad T520: uefi/gpt based debian install

Hi! I am about to receive a ThinkPad T520 with Intel SSD 320 real soon hopefully. I wondered whether it might make sense to install with UEFI and GPT. Informations from Arch Wiki hint at that for better alignment and less space waste for SSD: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSD#Using_GPT
