OK, I'll throw in my 2-cents. I've pretty much tried them all.
I'm using ext3 on a RAID-0 system. Who the heck cares if it takes a
second or two to delete a 1-hour show ??
XFS has a reputation for going flaky on you if it starts to get full.
Reiser has enough problems you do not want to go there, or at least
some versions do.
I made the same discovery about JFS, an "improper" shutdown will
necessitate repair, easy enough to do but who wants to be bothered
doing it when ext-3 doesn't have that problem.
So I just stick with the "tried and true" that I know is going to work.
