For your system, I would not agonize over choice of ext4 or XFS,
in practice you will see little difference.
Some practical advice for your system:
- bump the OS + home dirs from 1TB to 2TB (incremental cost of two 1TB SSD vs
two 2TB SSD is small)
- run this system on UPS power. your 200 TB data

We use EXT4 mostly. We find it to be more robust for lab machines, and more

I've been letting it default as long as it's been EL's default, and the last
time I had trouble with XFS was EL6.2.
The one minor gotcha Pat pointed out to me recently: if you want to
resize a partition in xfs, you can grow it but not shrink it.
But shrinking a partition is something that is far less likely to need
to be done in an enterprise environment (compared to me fighting with
