If you have the time, might I suggest that you select "TA only" unless your company SOP's say otherwise. My reasoning is that if whilst doing this descent, you don't want to be told to start climbing again. Otherwise, what's the point of the descent? In TA only mode, you are still letting other Mode S people "see you" and their aircraft knows that you will not be taking action to avoid.
