Why each option
NTFS is the most secure and feature-rich file system available for Windows, supporting permissions, encryption, journaling, and large volume sizes.
FAT32 lacks file-level security permissions, has a 4 GB maximum file size limit, and does not support journaling or encryption.
FAT64 (also called exFAT) is optimized for flash storage and removable media but does not support ACLs, journaling, or encryption like NTFS does.
uFAT is not a standard recognized file system specification and is not a valid option in mainstream Windows environments.
NTFS (New Technology File System) supports granular access control lists (ACLs), EFS encryption, disk quotas, journaling for fault tolerance, and volume sizes far beyond FAT limits. These features make it significantly more secure, scalable, and advanced than any FAT-based file system.
