If your work load doesn't dictate the use of XFS, I would personally
stick with EXT3. It's the default file system on thousands and
thousands of machines, so I would be willing to bet that the
widespread deployment of EXT3 would flush out show stopping bugs
rather quickly. There was a thread discussing this on the LKML a while
back. You might try searching there to get feedback from the folks who
actually write the file systems.
