+1  ext4 is 'plenty good', bullet proof, and robustly supported.  

What ext4 suffers most from is hangover impressions of its quality that
have followed it from early ext3 [even later versions of ext3 were
considerably better than early ext3;  especially with the introduction
of dir_index that solved a lot of big-folders-are-very-slow problems].

ext4 uses extents, just like XFS.  It can pre-allocate just like XFS.
It does delated allocation, like XFS.

If you want really good performance than putting your journal external
to the filesystem, preferably on really fast storage, will probably help
more than anything else.  Certainly more than type-of-filesystem.
