it's my understanding that EFI is actually a deprecated precursor to UEFI.

from wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface):
> Intel developed the original EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) specification. Some of the EFI's practices and data formats mirror those from Microsoft Windows.[5][6] In 2005, UEFI deprecated EFI 1.10 (the final release of EFI). The Unified EFI Forum manages the UEFI specification.

I use rEFind as a boot manager, as it it very straightforward, and does a very nice job with all OS entries. I understand that there are instructions for installing Debian with GRUB only floating around, but I don't find it necessary.
