More information might help get better answers.

ACK. Much of a recommendation depends upon the use-case you want your external disk for.

E.g. as a Linux-only backup drive, I usually use ext4, to exchange data with Windows, there hardly is an alternative to ntfs, and to exchange data with arbitrary other systems (TVs, MediaPlayers) other restrictions may come into play.
