Assuming you speak about linux servers:
Ext3 is not the bleeding edge in speed when handling a lot of small
files (rather take xfs here) but fast for normal data structures, is
rock solid and it's journaling feature works great. I never had any
file system crash for years now, even when cold-hearted unplugging power
cords from test servers.
Moreover, the successor Ext4 shall overcome the mentioned speed issue
and has some more new features. Ext3 partitions can be used with Ext4
software.
NTFS enjoys full read and write access from linux systems via ntfs-3g.
Nevertheless, I would recommend using a native linux file system which
is fully integrated (for example "acl" and "xattr" capabilities which
are implemented in a completely different way in NTFS)
