I've only ever used BIOS for any virtual machine we've created. I assume the EFI option is there because some guest OS' might support EFI or even need it, in a few cases.
For instance, VMware now supports running Mac OS X as a virtual machine. Now, this only works if you're host hardware is an Apple Mac Pro (something you won't find immediately obvious in their documentation, by the way.) The Mac OS X guest virtual machine *requires* EFI and not BIOS.
