I would use NetBSD's ffs, as it supports journalling. NetBSD only has ext2 support not ext3/4. Automount should be fairly straightforward. I would boot up a NetBSD image in EC2 just to double check what the block device name is. Here iis the code I use in userspace to try to mount ffs then fallback to ext2. ufs.fspec should point to a string with the block device name (probably /dev/xbd0a I would imagine, thats what it is for a normal Xen image).
