I would stick to HFS+ (case insensitive). I wonder why your PB is
formatted UFS. I know from Server lists that it is rarely used on
OSXServer except when a certain application needs it. UFS is known to
be slower so even Apple recommends HFS+ (Extended, Journaled) in
almost all situations.

And in this case, for a PB, it is almost certainly the way to go.
