I've only just started seeing filesystem corruption under high load. -current Xen survived buildworlds in my initial testing so I was focusing more on fixing network related bugs. It is quite possible there are bugs in the VM system and/or Xen block device code which are causing instabilities.

Just don't dick around with that stuff unless you're an actual developer! :) stick to a distribution you get support from. I'd suggest CentOS. Centos/redhat are at least caring about Xen PVM/HVM support. Ubuntu for example seems to really only care about KVM these days. No idea about the rest.
