An SSD file system must support TRIM or performance will be sub-par, so 
EXT3 is out.  EXT4 is a fine choice.

That's tiny, but I understand the cost factor.  I put in one that holds 
everything except the media files, and I was surprised at how little 
difference it seemed to make.  Some things are slower now, as the media 
drive spins down when it didn't before with the whole OS on the drive.
