With apologies to Samuel L Jackson (as Beaumont in Jackie Brown): ext4.
The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to have the
most robust and widely deployed Linux filesystem, accept no substitute.
In all seriousness, unless you have niche performance needs and
quantitative evidence to support them, or require fat32 for
interoperability (and are willing to sacrifice Unix permissions and file
size), do not overlook the robustness and ubiquity of ext4.
