I tend to encourage people to pick ext4 over ext3 on modern hardware and software. Aside from some clear performance wins for not-that-uncommon workloads (deleting lots of large files, storing large images etc) there's the fact that most of the attention upstream these days is going into ext4 - - the earlier ext* file systems are pretty much in maintenance mode today.
