It depends on what you want to do.....

If you only need to store small amounts of data (or even large amounts with a 
simple append or save-over policy) then a full-blown file system is overkill.

If you need to share the media (eg. CF or SD) with a PC, then you'll probably 
want FAT.

FAT is, however, rather unreliable. Log structured file systems designed for 
flash (eg. JFFS2 or YAFFS) are far more reliable.

#disclaimer. I wrote YAFFS and have been kicked in the ***** by FAT too many 
times.
