iMac disc format

I’m erasing all on my iMac hard disc. What format should it be? APFS? Encrypted? Other?

My immediate thought for a solution would be to start at the top of the list which is APFS and sing:


Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,

Catch a tiger by the toe.

If he hollers, let it go,

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.


'moe' = Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted). ****!


It could have been a legendary solution, however as per babowa's excellent response - Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
