If you've got Pro, definatly go NTFS. There's lots of cool little features that requre NTFS to work, so I'd go that route.

You will notice hard drive space will be sucked up quicker with NTFS than FAT32, but NTFS is a lot spiffier. Mostly to do with security and such that just doesnt work in FAT.

I have a 40GB raid0 array and its running with a NTFS just fine.
