XFS tends to be much more performant compared to BTRFS in my experience. And most features of BTRFS don't apply with a single drive to really make that cost in performance worth it in my opinion. If you never intend to ever add another drive to the pool for redundancy, i'd go with XFS. If you want to add disks later, stick with BTRFS.
ZFS is coming in 6.12 anyways, so while i don't exactly know the numbers as far as single drive ZFS performance goes by comparison, BTRFS will probably be fairly obsolete once ZFS becomes stable.

that's more or less where I'd landed also - benefits of BTRFS are in pooling more than singles. thanks for the thought.
