If it is a NAS, as you state, then you don't have to think about the
filesystem, because the storage unit does not provide block devices for
filesystem creation.

Else - in case you get block storage instead of NAS - "best
filesystem"
depends on a lot of parameters. If there would be a best one, then there
wouldn't be room for several choices.
