What about a live CD that you boot from, type "yes I want to trash my flash drive" and it automatically tries different partition schemes, runs benchmarks, and tells you which one is fast? Don't trust what the drive says, just try it a bunch of possible ways and see what works for real. (I'd pay $14.95 for the iso assuming the underlying code was Free.)
