JFS is a pretty good and care-free choice for this. Low resource usage.
Good performance, especially with large files. Although I must admit, I
wouldn't use it anymore since Ext4 is usually good enough for just about
every use-case and tested by more people in new kernel versions
(therefore presumably more stable).
