My passport and Global Entry have First Middle Last. All my other IDs, credit cards, travel agencies, MP account, etc. have First M. Last.
I selected the First Middle Last entry that came up because I want to ensure what is being submitted for Pre-Check will match my Global Entry / Trusted Traveler profile. But 95% of the time, the ID I show to the TSA will not match that since most of my flying is domestic and I show my driver's license.
yeah, I have yet to see a TSA agent complain about middle initial vs middle name. I doubt you would ever see a problem.
I chose to have my middle name simply because I do more international travel (thus using passport).
If you are curious, see TSA's blog and website information, as they specifically mention about middle initials:

If you read the first post in this thread carefully, it indicates that changing middle name / initial can be done online. If you have a last-name / legal name change then you would need to call in.
