Hi Ged, In JCR, large data items (over a configurable limit, typically 1KB) are stored in the "Datastore".
The Datastore can be configured to live either in the DB (DBDatastore) or on the Filesystem (FSDataStore). Personally I have very bad experiences storing large media items (lets say >20MB in size) in the Database. Blob-Handling is terrible for most relational databases, and the most popular open source implementations are especially bad. So personally, I would not recommend storing large blobs to the Database in a production setup. I would go the Filesystem route. For all the other JCR data I would use the DB, but not for the Datastore. When using the filesystem, it helps to know that the JCR Datastore is "write once". The data blobs are written, but are never modified or overwritten. This means that File System locking and synchronization are not such a big issue as you might think. In order to get the JCR clustering with Datastore in FS to work, all you need is a simple (but reliable!) shared file system. So basically I would recommend the JCR cluster solution using a simple shared file system for the datastore, and the database of your choice for everything else.
