Personally, I don't use either for anything. I don't even have either compiled into my kernel...
I have an MSDOS partition, used with MSDOS 6.22 and WIndows 3.11, which I share data with, but I mount it using the VFAT file system so as to minimise name mangling and related problems.
Best wishes from Riley.
