There's no good reason to use NTFS on Linux unless you need to directly access the drive from windows, The OP makes no mention of needing to access the drive directly from 'doze. As far as I can tell, he's just using it to format the drive...So, EXT4 is the obvious choice.Not so much since the ntfs3 driver came out. It's based on a commercially written and well supported driver.It's still generally a bad idea to use NTFS on Linux.
The main reason not to use NTFS in the past was the restrictions of the drivers. The original ntfs driver was read-only (with optional potentially unsafe write mode). The ntfs-3g driver could write, but is very slow. ntfs3 is fast and reported to be reliable.
If OP requires the drives to be used on a Windows system I would recommend formatting to NTFS and using the ntfs3 driver on the Pi and switching to kernel8 as Dom advised.
