Hands down XFS is the winner for me. I've had numerous problems with
ext3 and data corruption on machines that run Reiserfs without a hiccup.
ext3 wins the speed contests, Reiser seems more stable, XFS is far more
mature with SGI's core code that's proven on thousands of high end
servers and workstations.  JFS is also proven and I have over 90 RS/6000
machines running AIX 4.3 and 5L that never so much as blink on a power
failure recovery. I'd choose in order:
XFS
JFS 
Reiser
ext3
ext2
As always, YMMV-
