If you install hotplug, then you won't have to manually load the
usb-storage module, since it will be automatically loaded when you plug
your USB drive and automatically removed when you unplug it.

You have many options here. One of them is to create a file called
/etc/filesystems that contains the possible filesystem types that you
want to mount.
This way, whenever you have to mount a filesystem, the mount command
will check that file to see what filesystems it can use in case there is
an auto keyword in the /etc/fstab field that specifies the fs type.
Since you seem to be using a stock kernel from Debian, the vfat module
should be available.
Read more about the process above in the mount manual page.
