From the point of view of security, NTFS is the best file system hands down. Its secure and fast and very reliable for the kind of applications that you are looking for. Don't even think about FAT32 or FAT64 because they are not so reliable. About setting up your folder structure, You can place all these folders in a separate directory or a separate partition.

Name all the folders just as you have mentioned, no need to find new names for these. Within the folders, name the files in a meaningful way so that when you want to access a file you don't get lost in the list of files.

This will work out just fine for you.
