Just depends what you're looking for: stable or bleeding edge. The optional update may contain fixes that can improve performance issues, but obviously carries more risk of introducing issues as well. Recommended will be slower to get fixes and improvements, but will be more stable as a result.

 

You can always change it later, as well. Like if you're fine with all your games, then go recommended. But, if you start experiencing any graphical bugs or other issues, then go optional until you get a fix. Rinse and repeat.

Is the optional one in beta or is it production quality? Using this laptop for work so need reliability and stability.

Use the WHQL one

I'm using auto detect and install so is that the recommended one?
