Some like it WBFS but others like FAT32.

I use FAT32 myself. I like the fact you can drag and drop games to the HDD (without using an application to transfer them).. As well you have room in case you ever decide to use homebrew like Emulatores or play video files.

It really comes down to preference. Either or work when it comes to playing Wii games, but I truly think FAT32 wins slightly do to being able to use Homebrew apps with the HDD as well.

i use both. 32GB FAT32 partition to store all apps and homebrew, and WBFS for games. great way for transporting to other places, since everything is on the drive.

this way, the SD card is used for bootmii/priiloader, and sometimes for wads for those not being detected by wadmanager on the hdd.
