Quick/1 Minute oats are just smaller from steaming and rolling them more than the old-fashioned ones. They are both whole grain and previously "cooked" by steaming.
Either will work, but quick will be more tender in your protein bar or pancakes. I eat them raw, as cold cereal, and just find the old fashioned ones more chewy.
If you're blending them until they are no longer pieces, then it makes no difference.
