I remember Civilme suggesting that XFS is a good way to go on a PC, so that's what I'm using now. I have a somewhat faulty mobo, so every couple weeks, it freezes up to the point where I have to cold boot, and with XFS it boots up just as fast as it did when I was using ReiserFS. However, I lack the technical expertise to even detect if there's any performance difference between XFS and ReiserFS.
