NTFS vs exFAT

I'm currently thinking of formatting a 64gb microsd card to NTFS. It's originally exFAT.

 

Does anyone know if it would be better to be in NTFS or exFAT.

 

It would mainly be used on my laptop. I doubt i'd use it for a camera/tablet and my nexus 5 doesn't accept an sd card.

I would go with NTFS., if your phone doesn't support it, then go with exFAT.

that was fast,

also i won't use it in my phone since no slot  :P

 

Just wondering if anyone could give me a brief pro/con between ntfs / exfat

Oh haha, go with NTFS then because it can copy big files.

unless i'm mistaken, the 4gb limitation is for fat32 not exFAT?
