Default add another partition?

I have a second harddrive with a partition that I want to use for backup in freebsd, how can I format it and use it in my network with both M$ and Apple computers and Slackware, is it vfat to use as filesystem or can I use UFS?

I believe that the partition type is less important than the services you enable on the machine that hosts the second drive. Below are some links on the Network File System
FreeBSD handbook on NFS
MS Technotes on mounting an NFS share
