There is usually little point in using many different filesystems.
Currently, ext2fs is the most popular one, and it is probably
the wisest choice. Depending on the overhead for bookkeeping
structures, speed, (perceived) reliability, compatibility,
and various other reasons, it may be advisable to use another file
system. This needs to be decided on a case-by-case basis.
