I believe Yahoo! uses ext3, though I know other people have said that XFS has performed better in various benchmarks. We use ext3, though we haven't done any benchmarks to prove its worth.
This question has come up a lot, so I think it'd be worth doing a benchmark and writing up the results. I haven't been able to find a detailed analysis / benchmark writeup comparing various filesystems, unfortunately.
