HFS+ is not a better filesystem than NTFS (both have their weaknesses and neither have integrity checking) and won't save your bacon when the !!!! hits the fan.
HFS,NTFS,ABCDEFG....Z....FS ..... NO FILE SYSTEM WILL SAVE YOUR BACON WHEN THE !!!! HITS THE FAN.... THAT'S WHY WE DO ... BACKUPS !!!!!
There is NO substitute for backups. NONE. NADA. ZIP.
Also, ZFS on a typical single hard drive desktop or laptop machine is quite frankly verging on pointless and not worth worrying about. Many of the benefits of ZFS are derived from being able to work with multiple drives.
For your average punter, with a cheap and nasty 5400rpm drive sitting in their cheap and nasty computer, the difference between ZFS,HFS+,NTFS or whatever is not going to make much of a difference to their life .... a proper backup routine however is another story !
Hint: Why do you think Apple sells Time Machine?
Apple do not sell time machine ! It is included free of charge.
Not only that, it is one of the best backup mechanisms out there for the non-technical user. Easy as pie to set up multi-device backups.
