Snow Leopard requires GUID if I remember correctly from an early upgrade that I had to do here at my school.  The drive on a MacBook Pro had been formatted with Apple Partition Map instead so I had to use CarbonCopyCloner to clone, then reformat, then restore, then upgrade.  Anyway I would stick with GUID.
