Question
Does it matter if one uses gauge instead of absolute pressures in applying Bernoulli's equation? Explain.

Answer

No, it does not matter if one uses gauge instead of absolute pressures in applying Bernoulli's equation unless the atmospheric pressure at the two points where, Bernoulli's equation is applied are significantly different.
