For enterprise environments my favorite FS is XFS, YMMV, though.
I've always avoided XFS because A) it wsan't supported natively in RHEL anyways, and B) I've heard far too many stories about catastrophic loss problems and day long FSCK sessions after power failures [1] or what have you
is B) no longer an issue?
You get horror stories about anything, depending on which people you ask. For example, where reiserfs was supposed to eat data left and right some years ago, I had 6 data losing crashes on ext3 and 0 with reiserfs. On same machine, same disks, so same conditions. Go figure.
Prior to 2.4.18 reiserfs was not in sync with the then ever changing vfs layer hence the data losses. It became stable after 2.4.18.
