"If I had to partition the table, what would be the best option." -- Do not partition a table without a goal in mind.

Two common goals:

* time series, where you want to delete old data

* performance -- for this we need to see all the relevant SELECTs, plus the table structure (pre-partitioned is ok).

There are many ways you _could_ partition the table; most do not provide any benefit.
