It depends on whether you want the drive to be accessible to Windows PCs as well. If you are not bothered about Windows PCs then you can use the default Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
If you want to have both Windows and MacOs to have full read and write access you need to format it as Ms\Dos which has I think a 4GB limit on individual file size. An alternative is to get the NTFS add on from Paragon which extend the ability of Mac OS to write as well as read NTFS partitions.
