WRT performance, I don't know whether NTFS is faster or slower than FAT32,
but you may have noticed that if you have unscheduled downtime (on Windows!
Never! I can't believe it! :-) that a system with NTFS just picks up where
you left off, whereas a FAT system has to do the Windows equivalent
of an fsck to verify filesystem integrity.  This is because NTFS is
a journaling filesystem.

NTFS is fairly reliable, a pretty important thing when the OS isn't :-)
