WII Softmod: NTFS or WBFS? Which loader?

Softmod WII: and then?

Softmod done, we have to decide the loader to use and how to make our Backup copies:
1) Use copies of original WII DVD
2) Use an Usb Hard Disk ("active" partition, max 500 Gb) NTFS formatted
3) Use an Usb Hard Disk (max partition 500 Gb) WBFS formatted

Remember that you have to connect your Usb Hard disk to the lower Usb connector of your WII. Other periferals can be connected to the upper Usb (microphone, LAN card)

Manage burned DVD is not for me. So my choice was between WBFS and NTFS partition.
I wanted to buy an external Multimedia Hard Disk LAN capable. I can connect it to my WII (USB), directly to the TV (HDMI) and to the LAN (RJ45) to copy files from the pc to the HD without moving it, my computer is in another room.
I also chosen to format it NTFS, easier to manage it with a computer.
So my backup copies must be copied in the wbfs folder in this way.

If you decide to format WBFS you can do it with the loader (uLoader OK)

Loader:
I have tested many and at the end I use  CfgUsbLoader and Backup Launcher 0.3 Gamma WIIGator
The first because is able to manage my Lacie Hard disk NTFS formatted, the second for the backup copies I need to start from burned DVD (Es. Heatseeker. I burn it with Image Burn on a DVD and start with the video setting modified)
