I have a bunch of new servers, and then eventually some not-so-new servers that will be repurposed that also support both legacy BIOS and UEFI boot. There's no dual-booting or anything fancy here, just headless servers in a colo that may occasionally be touched by the colo's remote hands service if I'm not around.
Looking at non-OS-specific UEFI info the general sense I get is that it's pretty nifty and very complicated, but for a system booting a single OS, I'm not really seeing tangible advantages when weighed against the additional complexity involved. I'm also not finding really solid info on where FreeBSD support for UEFI boot is (we'll be rolling out/upgrading to 12.x).
My gut says go legacy BIOS, any counters to that?
