Ext3 has yet to give me a single problem in the 2+ years that I've been using it (since my first GNU/Linux adventures on RH9). ReiserFS, on the other hand, was continually misbehaving (segfaults, floating point exceptions, journal replay errors, etc.) both times I tried to use it for a Stage1 Gentoo install (the second time just using it for /usr/portage and /var/tmp/portage).
I've not any experience with other filesystems so I can't knowledgably comment on them, but I very highly recommend ext3. For what it's worth, I've posted a few tips[1] on Gentoo's DT&T forum to help you improve reliablity and performance on an ext3 filesystem.
