NVMe would be the best option.
Although I have seen reports that only NVMe drives that use limited power (wattage) work properly in the PBP.
And I'm not sure what you have to do exactly to boot directly from NVMe.

If not too late, ask the seller to set the switch to disable the eMMC.
Otherwise you might not be able to boot at all.
Unless the seller has already set things up to boot directly from NVMe.
