Reiserfs has done wonderfully for me since some problems in the kernel prior to 2.4.18 were worked out.  It has resulted in fewer data problems for me than ext2 did.  Only have ext3 on one laptop (RH73).  Largest reiserfs is 120G, and it's mostly large files.  Most heavily used reseiserfs is 20G and is small files.
