Its main advantage is that you can convert existing ext2 partitions to ext3 without reformatting them (not relevant in your case i believe). Ive also read that some apps that make bad assumptions about how filesystems work (namely qmail and i think NFS) have some issues with reiser. Ive personnally used reiser for about a year and bit and it has served me very well, so if you are happy i cant reccomend a change, but im sure there are many more advantages/disadvantages between the two which may swing you desision.
