Depends who you ask,

I have a machine here now setup for most of that, and alot of other stuff..

Its an mostly 8.2  Machine with reiserfs and it has run for months with no
probs, uptime is usually in the months and only comes down when I upgrade a
kernel or something.

some will tell you ext2 for speed/backwards compatability, some will tell
you ext3 for less speed but safer, then their is xfs and jfs and both have
their ups and down.

for me I've had less hassles with reiserfs then any other, and its not yet
really let me down.

(Only problem I have had with reiserfs is to do with postfix and setting
mail size limits, if you do it on a machine with reiser, you will have all
sorts of problems... I had to give up on that, but for everything else,
reiserfs rocks..)

To each his own, they are all good, you can't really go wrong.. (not
entirely true, but you get the idea.)
