I've used both of these guys, but not the most recent versions. Both
were previously read-only, but now it appears both have write support
from looking at the release notes. Both were a bit heavy handed to get
setup, but a decently computer literate person could probably handle
it. Ext2IFS in particular looks dramatically improved from when I last
used it.
Both worked fine through Cygwin for simple usage. I never did anything
with serious disk usage on either of them, so I can't say how it
stacks up to FAT32 on Linux in terms of really hammering the disk.
A little more reading says ext2ifs can't handle permissions or symbolic links.

I don't recall the details of ext2fsd, but I think symbolic links
worked. I'd like to look at this again, but I spend all my time in
Linux at home.
