I would argue to still use gparted. This is due to modern disks, particularly 
advanced format drives requiring correct partition alignment for best 
performance, and I have no idea whether those tools you mentioned do this 
properly. Gdisk maybe, but GPT has been around longer than advanced format 
drives.

I say gparted, because under the hood it uses libparted, which is known to work 
properly with aligning partitions properly for newer drives. The Ubuntu and 
Debian installers also use libparted under the hood for partition management.
