The ReiserFS work that I did was with different HW and didn't include any 3ware RAID cards (IIRC it was a Dell RAID but that was quite a while back). But we've had good stability issues with EXT3 on 3ware cards with RAID 5 once we upgraded our oldest card to the 9000 series. Since ours are production systems, we prioritized stability over performance and have been satisfied. We are now revisiting other FS types (XFS especially) but still need the stability. I'm interested in what happens for us.
