NTFS is the most modern file system available from Microsoft. Generally, it's faster, uses the space on your hard disk more efficiently, and is more secure. You're also much less likely to experience data loss.

We recommend you always choose NTFS, unless you need to access the data on that partition with another computer running that can't read NTFS files. (i.e. Windows 98 in a network configuration).

Here's a link with some more details:
