Which one?

This is sort of a low-level firmware requirement in my mind..

For what it is worth Arduino comes with FAT16/FAT32 support [1] and IIRC the other 'Windows' file systems are encumbered by IPR/licencing requirements depending on if you care about that sort of thing.

FAT32 is also universally supported on virtually everything that can support SD cards.

On the down side you are limited to 32GB partition and max file size of 4GB [2] but I think that is probably ok for this project.
