One of the reasons why FAT32 was recommended for virtual memory is because that's the only file system available at the time and when you needed virtual memory due to small physical ram allocation.

I can remember a day when us tech geeks would say..."I would never need more than 1 gb of hard drive space or 128mb of ram."

If you aren't worried about security, go ahead and use FAT32. However, in this day and age, I would use NTFS unless you have some older applications that depend on data stored in a FAT32 system.
