I would think the real answer depends on your use of the floppies.  If you're 
going to use them only for Linux - no reason to get the DOS tools involved, 
format them with a Linux filesystem.  If you're going to use them on DOS/Win 
machines as well as your Linux box - then format them for DOS and set Linux 
up to mount them using DOS filesystems (via your fstab).
