Although I often use HD-tray adapters so I can easily replace a box's HD without opening the case, when needed, I have always made it a point to use the most common FS on all systems. That way if some system/partition in a box develops a problem I can boot any other system in the box and fix it. ext4 is not fully backward compatible, and offers no necessary new functionality AFAICS. When I need to do a repair, I do not want to have to deal with compatibility issues also.
