Now, to be honest, reiserfs is a relatively stable system that can rebuilt the tree and get you back online in cases where ext3 would totally have lost your data. On the other hand, it triggers a need for a rebuild tree at least four time more often than an fsck in ext3, and takes roughly two hours for every million files on the system, versus 10-40 minutes total in an fsck on ext3.
Having said that, reiserfs is incredibly slow on deletes, so if it is data that you are constantly writing and deleting, you will do much better with ext3.
Basic rule, all filesystems suck in some way, and perform well in others. Figure out what you need it for and if the particular headaches are worth dealing with.
