Choice, yes. Good? No. There is no mainline kernel implementation of exFAT. There is a FUSE implementation, and maybe some non-mainline in-kernel implementations.
The reason exFAT is a second class citizen on Linux is that Microsoft asserts many patents on exFAT, and implementing support for it requires a license from Microsoft.
UDF also supports POSIX file system permissions.
