Sure it has performance implications using a different file system. Each file system has its strengths and it really depends on your workload, which one to use. Ext3 is "rock-solid" because it is based on ext3. ReiserFS saves your disk storage because of the disk space optimization algorithm and the tail merging, but reiserfs needs more CPU than others to do that. XFS is very fast, in case you have several CPUs because of the allocation groups but needs to become a little bit more stable for critical applications. But anyway, it will take some time until Reiser4 will become stable and part of a distribution.
