Reiserfs is more popular, because it is the default in SuSE. We've
observed a fair number of cases where reiserfs fails at very high I/O
rates, so we tend to use ext3 in places where we know it's going to get
beaten hard. reiserfs performs slightly better than ext3 on filesystems
that will have a lot of small files (that's its design point anyway) so
you may need to mix and match.

Install EVMS and use evmsn in place of the YaST storage gui. Then you
get a nice front end for both, and a whole lot more.
