It all comes down to what do you want to prioritize here.
If you want minimal downtimes in case that there's a power source
failure of any kind, then you probably want ext4 which will give you
the fastest fsck times. Or, you might want to check into sqashfs on a
flash drive for your rootfs and use

Hi, All
Is it possible to have /var in a separate partition, mounted during boot?
Or do the boot process need it to read/write to it?
I have found that mounting local file systems is one of the very first tasks

This is very common. The advantage is that a process filling up the /var
directory (which is bad) will not fill the root partition (which would be
worse).
