The Gentoo install manual has a nice, brief description of each of the filesystems.
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook.xml?part=1&chap=4#doc_chap9 If you know what you want to use the server for, then the descriptions help a fair bit. Personally, I use Rieser - simply because I'm running Apache, and the web page access will probably be most of my disk activity.

I will probably use a 50MB /boot partition, a 256MB swap and the rest will be given to the root partition. I plan to format the /boot partition as ext2, as I don't need journaling for it. I have heard good things about ReiserFS, but I have never used it. On my other linux systems, I use ext3 for the / partition. Which filesystem, in your opinion, is better? The hard drive in question will either be 80GB or 120GB.
