Just to put in my experience:
(Using a G3 266 PB 128MB/4GB):
I installed OSX twice using a Unix formatted partion, and
OSX was extremely sluggish and practically useless.
Attempting to run Classic mode (from another partition)
resulted in a "can't mount this startup disk" error. I almost
threw OSX out the window....
But then I reinstalled using a Mac extended format, and
everything was smooth and error-free.
I haven't yet seen any official recommendations on which
type of partition to use, though.
