For me with linux/windows i woudl create Fat 32 on volumes 2gb or less
or ntfs on volumes larger.

not the best choice but it is the most simple and portable one. fat
will even allow OSX compatability.

anything more complicated tar-gzip and a portable version of 7zip or
winrar if you need to keep complex file structures and permissions.
