Should I select /nvme0n1 or /sda for the Ubuntu boot loader installation?

I am installing Ubuntu 16.04 over a Windows system, and within the "Installation type" window I have the option to choose either /dev/nvme0n1 (14.4 GB) or /dev/sda (1.0 TB). I'm following this link which says if in doubt, leave the boot loader on the default - which is /nvme0n1 - but also says to put it on the one which your system boots from, which I assume would be within /sda (which is where I have swap, /, etc.)
Fairly new to Ubuntu so apologies if this is simpler than I'm imagining it.
I have looked at a lot of the other questions but haven't found any that have both of the drives that I have. See image for reference.
Thanks

Update: attempted to use the default, and came to the same issue as this person. Attempting to use dev/sda and it seems to be working, but during the install says that it has completely remove nearly everything (libre, thunderbird, python, etc.) and didn't add it back successfully.
