best file system type and formatting/mount options for virtual machines
I am going to create an LVM logical volume for holding my guest images. Can someone give me recommendations as to the best file type, formatting, and mounting options so that I can get the best performance available.

The only way to be sure is to do benchmarks on your own setup. Answers you get here will be subjective.
In My Opinion: XFS
Code:
# mkfs.xfs -b size=4096 -l size=128m
# mount -t xfs -o rw,relatime,nobarrier,logbufs=8 /dev/source /mnt/target
