Hi Oren, As far as I know, all the popular file-systems do support the sizes EXT3 supports.
However, it really depends what are you going to store in your storage. if it's tiny files (few K's each file), and many other parameters do need to be considered before deciding what FS to use. Also, make sure your tools support the FS you choose.
