What advantages do you see over using NTFS?

Mainly that I can write to the volume while using OS X, since NTFS is not writeable from OS X without using a driver like MacFUSE/NTFS-3G (free, but tricky to install?) or Paragon NTFS ($19.95).

I went ahead and installed Win7 using NTFS on a 300GB partition, so maybe I'll trying using MacFUSE. Either that, or I'll just use a USB stick formatted as FAT32 to transfer data back and forth.
