Yeah, Mac can read NTFS no problem, but with regards to writing, you can't do much unless you install some third-party drives (like NTFS-3G), but I don't know if I want to trust myself with that route. It also would cause problems if I wanted to do stuff with the Macs at my college campus, so I guess I'm stuck with FAT32 for the mean while.

Cluster-size shouldn't be much an issue, and if it does, I can just start RAR'ing a bunch of the smaller files together into a single larger one.......I also don't see myself using more than half (250gb) on this drive in the next couple years, so I guess I'll be good on that note.
