pcmanfm can do that, in pcmanfm it's a tickbox under the 'Volume
Management' tab of the Preferences menu.

pcmanfm can do that, if you have gnome vfs packages installed
(gvfs-backends and gvfs-fuse I beleive).

pcmanfm do that, it's the 'Show Hidden' option in the 'view' menu, and
it will remember you're last preference for that setting.
And I would expect other file managers to also support these things.
