RE: Which filesystem for external usb drive?
A lot will depend on how you intend to access it. If only via the RPi then ext3 or ext4 as f1vefour suggested. If however, you want to access it from a Windoze box then you'd be better off with NTFS (You can get readers for Windoze that will R/W ext3/4 but it's another layer to go wrong).

It's not as if there will be any great I/O on it, unless your transferring new files to it.
