You don't have to worry about the bootloader (unless you're using a source based distro). It's coming with the distro, and more often than not it's Grub. I don't care - I like lilo, I like grub. They're both good. Choose whatever you want.
Don't forget that you can get many bootloaders for windows as well, not just the lame primitive buggy virusinfested bullshit version coming built-in into windows.
