Hi Pavel, personally, I don't see a reason for using BIOS, it's... well... legacy. :) Some 5-10 years ago, using it might have had some benefits, since UEFI was just gaining traction and not every hardware supported it. But that's very unlikely to be an issue today with any reasonable equipment, and, there is far more to UEFI than just the nice boot menu.
