I don't have personal experience, but saw dozens of opinions of
other people, and all of them say the same. I'll focus on your
questions:

1. It is much faster, and the latest version is assumed stabler
   than anything else in the current Linux FS field (there are
   various benchmarks, and ReiserFS is much faster than any other
   FS for Linux).
2. It is NOT recommended as a root partition. I believe that all
   of the future Linuxes (maybe except for Mandrake-7.0), will
   include it as standard even if it will not find its way into
   the standard kernel, so this answer may change in the future.

Does anybody know about any of the zillions RedHat based
distributions that is going to be released soon?  I don't have
time to wait for RH7 for integrated ReiserFS...
