Glad to hear  that you have made progress.

As for file systems, you should probably just use NTFS if you need to
be able to read write from Windows.  That should have the best
compatibiltity and is more efficient than FAT with larger volumes.

OS X Has limited support for NTFS.  There is also:

But it's commercial and costs $40.  Kinda pricy just to be able to use
NTFS on Mac.

I believe there is ntfs-3g support for OS X, but I don't use OS X much
so I dunno.

Good luck
