I had used TrueCrypt, upon which VeraCrypt is based, but I really didn't have much inclination to go forward with that. I simply liked BitLocker because I need no third party software and I can take a drive encrypted with BitLocker to any other Windows machine and it will just work without installing any other software.
BTW, I do have several large drives encrypted with BitLocker. Not quite the size you have, but 8TB drives. I probably have less than 1GB (this time I do mean GB!) of data that really needs to be protected, stuff like copies of my product license keys, scans of medical documents, birth certificate, etc. but I just encrypt the whole thing anyway. That way, I never have to worry about separating sensitive info from non-sensitive info.
BitLocker to Go: Yes, you are correct about that, but you really don't need to differentiate. It's completely transparent to you. If you enable BitLocker on an external drive, it's BitLocker to Go, but nowhere does it differentiate.
