I would use 'xfs'. I believe samba was originally developed
over xfs, so it's likely the ea-suppot and acl support has had the most
testing there. Especially if your file server is setup with a UPS,
then I'd strongly recommend it. If not, ext4 might be safer (with write
through). It will be slower, but safer.
With a UPS, XFS's default 'write-back', will give the fastest
performance for large file writes (I think reads as well). It's worst
performance is on "removing" large numbers of files, as that is pretty
much a synchronous operation...
