When do I use WPA2-PSK AES versus when to use TKIP?

How do I make a decision to choose between WPA2-PSK AES or TKIP?

I have some guests coming over for a week, and they asked for the wifi password, which is fine, so I logged into my router and decided to set up a guest network (so that I can give them a *different* passphrase).

When I logged into the router, I'm confronted with this choice? ( )WPA2-PSK (AES) ( )WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]

I'm sure *both* work just fine, but, rather than just click one of them arbitrarily (which is what I did prior), I wonder if you can advise me on how I would properly make a decision between the various options?
