We had some issues with reiser3, very good speed, but when it crashes to hard, we had no chance to get anything back from it. Right now we are running about 300 TB on xfs and so far are pretty happy with it (though are quite a few people at CERN). Good performance and good stability on recent Linux kernels. Just make sure that you have write barriers enabled (default since 2.6.18(?)).
