Ext4. I did try F2FS several years ago, but it caused loss of data. It may be 
better now, but I wouldn't risk it as there's no need: these days SSDs are 
quite happy with ext4.

Nothing special, just 'defaults,relatime' in my case, but put something like 
this in root's crontab:

	15 1,13 * * * /sbin/fstrim -a

(I'm sure someone will correct me if that's no longer necessary.)
