You do need a ProDOS partition to boot from, but HFS has been very
stable for me.  I have a 1GB unit and more than 500MB of it are filled
up.  It works nicely all because I have HFS partitions.  As always, back
up the drive.  You should also apply the HFS FST patch to ensure a
stable configuration.  I've used HFS for years and have yet to have a
single problem.  Recommendation: 2 ProDOS partitions and an HFS
one for the rest.
