theres a table on the net showing that.. but i cant remeber where...
anyway..you'll have a partition limitation and a file limitation...
if I remember correctly xfs has the largest partition size limit...
in fact xfs was developed for speed and big files... when reiserfs 
perform well on small files.. so you have the choice..

yes you right..kernel has lasrge file support.. and trustix too..
all trustix software are compiled with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 
-D_LARGE_FILES=1 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE=1
so all program support large file...
remember that theres also a 'lfs' option when mounting samba shares..
so if youre concerned dont forget to add -o lfs or youll not be able 
to access >2Gb files over smb...
cheers
