any suggestions for these last two? I don't really have much of an

Depends on your location and what NLS you normally use. I'm in North
America, so I use the ISO 8859-1 charset and code page 437, both for
Western European language support. If you don't intend to use your
computer in any language other than English, those are probably fine.
I left them as is, and compiled nsl_utf8 as a module (so I don't have to
restart). When I load the module and plug in the
drive, /var/log/messages now shows:
Feb 7 22:07:18 orpheus FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for
FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive!
but the drive still mounts...
This is a warning, not an error. You can use Unicode on vfat
filesystems, but it's not recommended as vfat is not usually used in a
case sensitive context.
