i'm very fond of cramfs ... it works quite well, generally yields better

compression than jffs2, and the images are easier to work with.

I heard good things about squashfs, but the main reasons I haven't tried it out yet are time (duh) and because I do not want to patch the kernel at every release (it's not yet in the main tree).
