My vote would be for parted instead of either of these.  fdisk can be
buggy to the point of being unusable on sparc where parted works with no
problems in the same scenario.  

Granted it's got a funky syntax but it seems to do the right
thing, and plus it's got resizing support (though I don't recommend that
for the install guide).
