I've used both reiserfs and xfs on my personal workstation (1 user -
me) for some time, and both have saved my a## during reboots after a
hung system (lost my ext2 system that way and had to rebuild). 
reiserfs is generally faster except for larger database sizes, but
then it is 100% integrated into the kernel (as is ext3, I think).  xfs
works fine, but you are limited as to which kernel you use by
availability of patches (don't even think about the -ac kernel series;
it's not supported), and also grub isn't smart enough to boot from a
xfs  /boot filesystem.
