Which do you prefer and why for HDD or SDD hard disks ? And how is Ext4 with power failures nowadays ? iirc a few years ago there were issues with Ext3 (Yes, Ext3) and I remember a no barrier option was needed ? Is Ext4 much better ? And what FS do you prefer on usb storage ?

exfat for simple USB Storage, works on any OS (linux just needs exfat-utils and fuse)

Ext4 for linux drives

Yes, it was added into Linux Kernel 5.4 in November 2019 after Microsoft open-sourced exFAT [quick context overview].
