That would all depend on what you want to do, There is no one right answer. If you want to create a different subnet from the U-Verse then you wan't router mode and as I do I hang my 3rd party router off the ISP's router in a DMZ so you don't have to do port forwarding rules on both devices however if you don't care that your network is on the same subnet as U-Verse then you want 'bridge mode' aka AP mode.
