Generally, any of these would work and in practice, probably isn't
going to make a noticeable difference.

If you're running you hardware close enough to max throughput capacity
such that the choice of which (good) filesystem to use would make a
noticeable difference (i.e. you have 27 tuners and 84 frontends),
you'd probably be better off upgrading your hardware.
