Try NTFS because it provides more space. FAT32 is by default.

I have a 32 GB sd card.. and I want to flash a custom rom.. some of them says that I have to format my SD card to fat32 if you have a 64GB card. DO I have to do this since I have 32? If yes, how do I format it to fat32 (sorry being a noob)

No you don't need to. I do however have mine as fat32.
To format it you need to insert it in a pc and right click the card name and format.
I have no luck with the Jedi roms and sdcards. They say to reformat the card with a particular fat32 block size..but I have a feeling that is what killed my sdcard. I have been using jelly bean swap kernel with a 64gb sdcard with no problems thus far (knock on wood)

Many people would recommend "exFAT" file system, also some would recommend "FAT32" but due to the limitation of the file size, i won't recommend it, "EXT4" is good, but may not be a good choice for SDcard if you wanted to view the files on the PC using a "SDcard reader" one day, your sdcard then would be limited to read only, so you have 2 options:
1-format it as "exFAT"
2-just put it in the phone, Reformat the SD card with your phone Settings --> Storage/Storage & USB The file system on the freshly formatted SD card is the type that will give you the best performance with your phone.... in other words....(let the phone choose)

As i told you, Individual files on a FAT32 drive can’t be over 4 GB in size, but in exFAT it has no limitations, if it worked good for you in phone or pc then it's fine, if you faced any problems reformat it to FAT32.

1st off all. Why would you format your external SD card to F2FS. F2FS is only used for partitions like system/data(aka internal storage) and cache. There's no need to format your SD card to F2FS, all you can do now is format is back to FAT32 or exFAT (since that's what most SD card uses) and you should be able to use your SD card back.
Hit Thanks if this help you

It's quite different but any FAT type filesystem will work.
