Assalamuailakum,

Hello SolidPez. yes i recommend installing the bootloader on the mbr, thats better..and will be made easier for you.
well, no much difference between LILO and GRUB, its just that GRU is nicer and more friendly to use, for a Leaner..dont get me wrong, LILO is also friendly ,,,,but hey GRUB ):
