I too had bad experiences with ReiserFS years ago when it first came out and unfortunately it has left me scarred. Files just randomly disappearing and entire directories throwing errors and causing excessive hangs just didn't do it for me. While ext2 may have to fsck, I have never lost data due to filesystem problems on it. I now prefer ext3 on Linux systems. As for XFS, never had the itch to try it.
