If you want to use the drives with both a MAC and a Windows computer you're going to have to format the drives in FAT(MS-DOS).
If just with the MAC then you use the MAC extended Journaled. You find the MAC disk management in the utilities folder in Applications. Just a warning, if you have any usb Sandisk Cruizer drives the installed encrypting software doesn't play nice with MACs.
