We admittedly have bad and outdated documentation regarding the volume type. 
Neither option is ideal, but macFUSE is the most mature one. So if you consider yourself a “moderately knowledgeable Mac user” and feel comfortable with booting into recovery mode (just once) to enable loading of kernel extensions, I would recommend using this option. Here is an installation guide.
For those folks who dislike the idea of having 3rd party kernel extensions, we recommend using fuse-t. It isn’t that mature and we have received reports of malfunctions.
Lastly, we have WebDAV for those wo don’t want to install any additional software, regardless of whether it is running in kernel or user space. It is sufficient for most file-based operations, however it feels a little clunky with warnings being displayed regarding the connection (to localhost) not being secure (because no CA will ever issue a TLS certificate for localhost).
