I'm trying to create a NAS, running on a raspberry pi, which will be used entirely in an apple eco-system, and doesn't need windows support.

The NAS will be run purely from the OS SD card with no external harddrive (I don't need a lot of storage).

In this case, for the highest performance apple NAS setup on a raspberry pi setup should I be using raspbian with a NFS+ file system?

Then would I need something like SMB or AFP on top to connect it to my MAC or AppleTV?

The openmediavault distribution is pretty good for that and easy to install and use. They have install images for Raspberry Pi.

Then share your files using SMB/CIFS.

Using a Raspberry Pi as a NAS can have downsides. They sometimes have problems running for a long time. It also isn't especially fast. In fact you might have problems streaming HD videos over the network.
