If you have the space on your hard drive, it will run a little peppier from there than from an external USB drive. This isn't just BIAB; it would be true of any program because of the throughput speeds.

If you do decide to run from the USB drive, it should be fine. Select that in the install options. You don't actually have to do anything to the installation on your computer, but if you do decide to delete it, copy off any custom styles, songs you wrote, and bonus pak installers first.
