Do you need a filesystem at all? What about just writing a tarball to the drive? Can other OS's tar read in from a raw device? This saves the overhead of the filesystem. tar can even compress one the fly, or you can pipe it through openssl to encrypt it (useful for a portable piece of data). Personally, on my thumb drives I use the standard FAT and put everything in encrypted compressed tarballs.
