External Disks: 'Quick removal' or 'Better Performance'?

Talking about this option in pic (accessible from Disk Management). Windows now defaults external hard disks to ‘quick removal’.

I have 16TB Seagate external hard disks with regular movement of data. They are always connected to the PC and I have no power issues.

Which option gives faster data transfer speeds (and other metrics of better performance)?

Also, if Better Performance is to be selected, should I enable the other 2 options below (write caching and buffer flush)?

Thanks!
