Haven't trued Ubuntu in a while, but most installations are pretty straight forward. Here's my suggestions based on my experience. Note, you may get as many different suggestions as you do replies. Do a manual format when the option is presented to you. Allocate around 50GB to root (/), 1/4-1/2 of your RAM size as swap (/swap), and 50GB as home (/home). Leave the rest as your storage. Format it during the install, or after, it doesn't matter.
