It is clearly a trade-off. E.g. XFS's lazy allocation causes less writes and less fragmentation. But in the event of a crash it is likely that you will lose more data on filesystems with a lot of variable data than ext3.
Yes, XFS works great for heavy I/O loads like mail queues...until the box crashes during peak hours.
I wonder how Hans and reiser4 are getting along...
