I agree with Hetz, it really depends on the use scenario of the FS. On a side note, if its a viable platform(solaris), I'd consider seriously ZFS. ZFS IMHO is one of the best FS's today. I can say from a personal experience that ZFS works well with large volumes(10TB+) (both size wise and inode count wise).
