This is something I've noticed a lot of people say. ext3, to me, makes
sense for a primary data partition that will be mounted a lot and if the
machine crashes you'll want the journal there to recover from. I
personally never mount /boot except to put a new kernel on so I don't
see a reason to use a journaling file system on /boot. For my systems
this is what has done me good:

/boot ext2
/ ext3

I've personally never used reiserfs, and never had a need to, if I ever
run out of inodes before I run out of disk space I'll look into it, but
until then, I don't see a need to use something other than ext3 for my
root partition and ext2 for /boot.
