I would give '/boot' a 1GB partition, 'swap' a 2GB partition, and '/' whatever is left over. The trick is to specify the use of ext3 on the '/boot' partition. I used ext4 on '/'. After that, it worked!

K. I just try to rule out the simple ones. They are not seldom overseen.
If exfat and ntfs are no options your choices getting few. I don't know Android. Ain't it kind of Linux? So maybe ext2, ext3 or ext4? (I'm out of here 😅)

It can; I recently moved 20GB of data from a Linux based system over to FreeBSD using an ext4 FS as an intermediary (the production system was XFS). Files transferred 100% and the data passed integrity checking 100%.
It is, however, very slow.

...what is the best file system for external use (thumb drives and external hard drive(s)/enclosures)?
Some possibilities at this point:

Thank you, but I keep repeating: I don't compare UFS to EXT3! It's all about the poor results of disk operations most likely resulting from the hardware specifications and its support by FreeBSD, but I don't know how to prove it and whether there is a way to improve these values.
It's not that. Debian puts /tmp on tmpfs. My little show&tell above did the same, as you can see it was lightning fast. I could have used /tmp but I limit my /tmp to 300MB. You can do the same as debian with the following in fstab.

...could cause significant differences in this case (just 500MiB), perhaps a developer can confirm this, but I would check the UFS Block Size and EXT3 Block Size from booth.
Larger block size will perform less I/O operations on disk partition.
On FreeBSD you can check this using dumpfs -s...
