if you choose a FAT 32 frmat you can use it on both PC and Mac. Mac's have a known "slow load time" issue with fat 32 but you are mainly concerned with PC it seems. At least this way if a buddy has a Mac, you can read and write with your external.

Segate Barracuda is a good brand as well. I use a PC.

Note: you may not be able to write with a mac to an NTFS drive, but it reads just fine. We did a gig a couple of weeks ago and plugged our NTFS external into a Powerbook that was already there--had no problems. You can't save stuff, but who cares if you're just playing.
