Hi James,
The short answer is it depends.
The only real options I would consider for my use are Shapefile and GeoPackage formats.
GeoPackageshttps://www.geopackage.org/ (GPKGs) are an open source file format which a easier to handle compared to shapefiles. They are relatively new but gaining popularity quickly.
Shapefiles are an ESRI file format and probably the most used and widely known at the moment. However, one shapefile consists of several files which could make handling a bit awkward.
Documentationhttps://geopandas.org/docs/user_guide/io.html is widely available on working with either file types. Both are easy to work with in programming or in a GIS software. At the moment I think its based on personal preference on which one people tend to use more.
I hope this is helpful,
Musa
