I'm an ext3 user too; I reckon it's probably had more testing than most of the others and I haven't seen any problems with it. XFS only recently got added to mainline 2.4 kernels, didn't it? Might give it a look next time I'm building a box I can play about with.
You might as well shift to 2.6 kernels. I have installed those throughout this department and they have been rock solid on desktop and servers.
I'm running 2.6 on my laptop and a couple of local test boxes, but the majority of machines I run are in colo and as such I'd rather stick with 2.4 until 2.6 matures a bit more. Though probably by the time I'm ready to run XFS on any production box I'll consider 2.6 production ready.
