What is body surface area used for?

BSA is used in medicine to scale drug doses (especially chemotherapy), cardiac index and metabolic rates, since it tracks metabolic mass better than weight alone.

Which formula should I use?

Mosteller is the simplest and most common in clinical practice. Du Bois and Haycock are classic alternatives; results usually agree within a few percent.
