UFS2 is the default choice, but I also think ZFS can be used. I'm not sure if you can choose to use it from sysinstall, but as far as I know, ZFS is not working perfectly on FreeBSD yet.
165.... yes
Another installer (finstall) is being developed at the moment. Maybe you will find that more powerful :)

If you want to have ZFS from the installer, use PC-BSD. It's very easy. :)

you need to wait for another installer to install ZFS by default since sysinstall is very ugly to update among other things to get it to support ZFS installs.

as OpenBSD ppl say
"Shut up and hack"
if you want it - implement it...
It's still easy to install base system and then add what you want.

Right. And if installers do not do for you what you want - become an installer yourself. Unlimited install options. (http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/fbsd-from-scratch/why.html)

It's being worked on, the hold up is that it's going to require some extensive changes to the bootloader. Basically the code necessary doesn't fit in the current bootloader and as such the code needs to be changed to accommodate the extra lines.
But, it's definitely in the works. For the time being people are making a miniature root with UFS2 and then using ZFS for all the other bits.
