If you use XFS, make sure you have good power.  XFS does not like power

Interesting - I'm running an xfs system that has been through several power failures without problems - could have more to do with the specifics of ones harddrives than the type of file system (e.g. ATA/IDE write caching being the most common reason for power loss corruption, and some types seem more susceptible than others).
