Faster journaling systems like Reiser, JSF and XFS only offer
advantages, AFAIK, if you have many reads and writes going on.  If you
had a busy file server with dozens or hundreds of users then ext3 may
not be for you.  For something like a MythTV box I doubt anything above
ext3 offers any advantages.
