Here's my experience with filesystems:

reiserfs3 - various corrpution at random times
xfs - catastrophic crash after 9 months of use due to bad umounts
jfs - total and complete meltdown after a week of use on a fresh install
ext* - never had any issues to date, always just works for me


Based on the above I always use ext2/3 and am waiting for 4 to become
stable :)
