Floating point Mathematics

I am working on a project to implement an FFT using an FPGA. For the
FFT i would need to use floating point numbers. I have read about the
IEEE 754 standard but I think that it is too cumbersome for this
application. I would prefer to implement a fix point representation.

Can anyone suggest a fixed point representation that that is efficient
and relatively accurate at the same time?
