For the early stage of booting, there is no difference between MBR-style
partitions (it is more accurate and less ambiguous than "MSDOS-style") and
GPT-style partitions. There are only sectors accessed through a BIOS call.
Therefore, if something makes booting easier, it's not GPT, it's UEFI.

What makes you say that? There is nothing special about GPT partitions, they
are intervals of sectors, just as MBR-style partitions.
