If you want maximum data security, you might want to go with ext3.  Just the
other day when I was browsing LWN.net, I read about some folks who did some
tests where they'd start writing to a log file, kill the box's power, and
then see how readable the file's data and the filesystem were.  ext3 only
had unrecoverable errors two or three times, but everything else, including
ReiserFS, had tens or hundreds of errors.  ReiserFS may be faster in some
ways, but for me, this made it clear which was the most reliable.

ReiserFS and XFS are supported out-of-the-box by debian-installer. actually, I 
have never used debian without ReiserFS.

Reiser4 is not even supported by linux (the kernel).

Yes, you can use any partition type you want.
Be sure to backup your data in case you are converting on type to another.
