I think I am sold on a single 160gb xfs partition. + boot.

the fsck tool for xfs just returns true :-) ie it's not needed.

whereas ext3 defaults to a fsck every 25 mounts or 180 days (which ever
comes first) the same as ext2. I know this can be turned off but in my
experience it's needed as errors do creep in.
