I would like to use my USB device for reading and writing to the drive just as we do on a regular IDE hard drive. AFAIK, a live usb system would not allow me to write data persistently just like a live CD. Also my original question was for a recommendation of FS for installing Debian on a USB flash drive. Thanks.
