I format flash drives with MBR and ExFAT (Windows 8/8.1/10 doesn't seem to like the GPT partitions that OS X creates). ExFAT handles very large files. The only problem is that Microsoft has patents for ExFAT so on Linux you tend to have to install something to support it.

If your target is Linux and you don't want to install ExFAT support then OS X has tar and split to make your large files fit onto FAT.
