I believe the ext2 file system is faster and uses less resources than the
umsdos file system. So ext2 is best.

Which is assuming it's a Linux-only machine. If it's an MsDos and Linux box,
then umsdos may be more convenient, since you can easily run MsDos utils on
your Linux data, should the need arise.
