If you can afford it go for 1GB, anything less than 512 is too small these days.

It will have to be formatted in Fat32. Mac OS X at the moment can read NTFS drives but cant write to them.

Also when you delete something on OS X remember to empty the trash as it wont actually delete untill you do. You will also get lots of .DS_Store files visible when you next look at it from windows. I think you can get OS X to stop doing this but i cant remember how.
