Well, let me take back the UDF suggestion. I have to replace it 
on my backup disk too now.

Recently, I learned Linux has zero support for UDF in an aspect I 
had taken for granted: consistency checking! Apparently, not only 
is 'fsck' for UDF not working, it is an empty stub that doesn't 
say so!

For just Linux+Mac compatibility, the Mac's own HFS+ filesystem 
seems to be a good bet if you don't have ultra-large disks. 
Otherwise, NTFS?
