I would avoid using GB models for this type of work. They are intended for
situations where the calculation must be fast, not for postprocessing a
limited number of frames.
GB has additional parameters that are typically not optimized for the range
of chemistry seen in the complexes that people use with MMPBSA.
beyond that, keep in mind that MMPBSA is approximate at best, and you
should run the analysis on independent simulations to obtain precision
estimates.
