I format my little thumb drives as vfat because I tend to bring these to Windows machines or to my DVD player (which has a USB interface and can play movies off a FAT32 formatted drive).
For large external drives I use ext3. I use SATA drives as backup cartridges (I recommend the Thermaltake BlacX SATA-to-USB dock). I don't have much need to give these to Windows users.
