An upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (ext3) to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS will in all likelihood continue to use the existing filesystems as ext3, and not 'upgrade' them to ext4. There are two upgrade paths to 10.04 LTS: from 8.04, and from 9.10. If it were me, I'd deploy with 9.10, and upgrade from there when 10.04 comes out. Why? I don't have a scientific reason for it, but a step from 9.10 to 10.04 will be more 'incremental' than from 8.04 to 10.04. Take ext4 for example. 9.10 uses ext4 by default, so there will be no worries there.
