If this drive is going to be used at unpredictable places, i would still 
recommend using vFAT as it is the most widely supported format. However, 
there are drivers available for windows too that read write to an ext 
filesystem.

But even with that i would not recommend using an ext filesystem on such 
portable devices due to issues to can face with permissions. With the 
backup drive/partition, it is a different story.
