ask yourself how oftend do you need the features that zfs or btrfs brings over ext3/4 or vfat?
that's how i decided to use ntfs for shared windows/linux volumes; zfs & btrfs was awesome, but i realized that i needed their features less often in my lifetime than i have fingers on my hand.
use ntfs for stuff you need to work on both win and linux. windows sucks and doesn't work well with anything else. avoid exfat/fat32.
ntfs on linux isn't bad.
no journaling is the largest issue with exFAT, i've had data corruption with it numerous times during personal usage. i don't see any reason to use it over any other options

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Don't try and put Windows and Linux on the same filesystem. It will just lead to pain. Use whatever you want for Linux, and ntfs for windows.
The external drive should be fat or ntfs. There's an ext driver for windows, and it works, but I trust the Linux drivers for Windows filesystems more.
Also, this post is hard to read. Extra formatting is not a substitute for readability.
