FAT32 or exFAT?

Hi everybody,
I picked up a 32GB SD card for my Awe, to replace the 16GB card that I have been using. I've been running L Awe, stock kernel. Presently, I'm swapping files over. Just wondering if there is an advantage of one format over the other (FAT32 or exFAT) in an Android environment, if the stock kernel is even capable of reading exFAT, that is.

Thanks.
 
Hi spock1104,

Thanks much for your reply. I decided to format to FAT32 as it seems like a more of a guarantee of compatibility.
Incidentally, I've been planning to upgrade to your kernel, when I'm feeling more adventurous and have the time to do so.

Thanks again.

The stock kernel isn't capable of reading exFat. I'd advise sticking with FAT32.
