You're unsure if you need to use NTFS or FAT32 when setting up Windows 8.1 from a USB drive and ISO file.

Regardless of the method used to make the bootable USB, it’s highly probable that the drive will be reformatted eventually.

It was fast, wasn't it? I remember using FAT32 and then NTFS, though I can't recall the exact version I used.

Rufus will automatically choose the appropriate options.

Configure the software (Win7 USB Boot or Rufus) to format automatically.

Use the Win7 USB boot tool, but first copy any files on the USB drive since they’ll be lost
