ntfs is tricky on some distributions. Fat32 does not support files larger than 2 GB - but Fat32 is supported on any Linux I know of.

If one is using linx for most part of their work, ntfs is a terrible choice to go for. the ntfs-3g driver is still not complete or perfectly stable. And r/w speeds are nowhere close to what other filesystems can provide. FAT on the other hand has the file size limit. exFat though is a good option to choose.

100% would prefer Ext3/4 myself, but like I mentioned in my answer, if you are moving your disk around between platforms, you might want to consider the crappier MS alternatives for portability.
