I disagree. VFAT is a kludge. NTFS is better designed and more reliable, and it's journaling.
ntresize works fine and is fairly straightforward. It's included in Knoppix. You might set aside a VFAT partition to transfer data if you expect to shift a lot. Alternatively, has anyone used Linux NTFS support *recently*? They removed the 'experimental' warning on write support a few versions ago, but no one I've talked to dares try it.
