I have been using reiserfs on 5 of my systems without incident for over a year. I've not had to use the repair facilities, so I can't comment on how well they work. It has never let me down and seems much more mature than ext3 or xfs which is maybe why reiserfs is part of the 2.4 kernel today and ext3 and xfs are not. One thing I can say about reiserfs is that it has worked very well for me over NFS. Some file systems do not work correctly with NFS.
If I was going to use another file system, it would probably be IBM's JFS, which is at the 1.0.12 release or so. I have one partition running JFS, but it needs more testing. From the benchmarks I've seen, JFS is the fastest of all the journaling file systems. I've only used ext3 for a short time so I can't offer much in the way of opinion there.
