There's a useful overview of the different JFSes including links to benchmarks 
and the suchlike at:

Personally, I use ext3 for simplicity's sake (only ~300G of disc to worry 
about), but there is a big performance price to pay for that simplicity. I've 
never used any of the others, but I get the general impression (from comments 
that have passed by my eyeballs) that:

- Reiserfs is nice but hasn't got all the quirks ironed out
- XFS is pretty solid
