TL;DR: FAT32 is terrible, burn it with fire? ^^

Snark aside, as Kovid said, NTFS has been fairly usable on Linux for years (via ntfs3g), and there are efforts being made currently to merge a proper, in-kernel module with all the bells and whistles.

If you're *really* allergic to FUSE, or if you do need more cross-platform friendliness, exFAT would be a decent choice, unless you need to use the drive on truly horrendously old or weird hardware. Do note that it's *still* not journalled, though.
