NTFS is a bigger format, and will leave you with slightly less HDD room. I think its only real use is for OS? Using FAT for your external is better.

If it's a single File then you need to format to NTFS
FAT only supports up to 4GB/file.

This. Anything above a 4gb usb flash drive won't worth with exfat or fat16, but thats why you have fat32.

But keep in mind that some Devices's don't support exFAT (E.g: My dvd's usb player, my standalone media player and my tv's media player don't support exFAT but do support NTFS)

He's right. The only real reason for exfat is to do a bios update on your pc via usb. It has no other real usages anymore.

Game consoles don't always support NTFS either though, wii doesn't support NTFS but does support FAT32 and WBFS.
