I'm using ext3 on CF without a single problem for more than a year and a half now with Jeoss (Ubuntu derivative) but the OS define special settings on install (fstab) for taking care about flash memory... If you did consider those flash protecting parameters your OS and/or Application could be just killing your CF no matter what file system you use...
