itunes "set up as new ipad" question

I've got an iPhone 4S that I've regularly plugged into my computer and synced it to my computer with iTunes. I've owned a new iPad for a while now and have never, yet, plugged it into my computer. Haven't really needed to. Still don't need to really...but thought I'd give it a try- mostly so I could transfer some Beatles material from my computer/iphone onto the iPad (no I don't want to stream via iCloud).


So, I'm plugged in and iTunes fired up and I'm at the "Set Up Your iPad" screen and I have two choices...either "Set up as a new iPad" or "Restore from backup of Robert's iPhone"...which do I pick and why?


I don't want to copy everything that's on my iPhone to my iPad...only sync some albums. Opinions please? Which choice should I select before I hit that "Continue" button???

iPad, iOS 5.1, 64GB 4G LTE
