NTP and config of time

I read somewhere that it is best to set your BIOS to UTC clock on your physical hosts and use NTP to synchronize... is this true?

In addition, when you use the public ntp servers, I can't tell if I have to use

pool. NTP.org

or

0.pool. NTP.org

1.pool. NTP.org

2.pool. NTP.org

ESXi uses UTC and if I remember will define the clock machine to stop. Each of the pool.ntp.org references are very good but it it is useful to use something more high in the chain. In North America using the 0.north - america.pool.ntp.org can get you less crowded but servers geographically close times more.

0.North - america.pool.ntp.org

1.North - america.pool.ntp.org

2.North - america.pool.ntp.org
