I don't know what XP uses but i would suggest vfat as linux does not yet fully support ntfs.
XP can run on FAT32 or NTFS5 volumes, it can naturally still read FAT16 and NTFS4
Microsoft recommend avoiding FAT32 at sizes over 32GB and in fact XP will refuse to format a FAT32 volume over this size.
Be carefull to check that any kernel NTFS write support is both a> stable (as I think it is in 2.6) and b> Able to cope with NTFS5 if the drive was formatted by WinXP
