I use ext3 primarily because it's broadly supported. If the fecal
matter hits the rotary device and I want to be able to read the drive
on another machine, or boot with a different install or repair disk,
anything with ext2 support can read ext3, even though of course you
won't have the journalling support.
Granted, I made this decision a few years ago and maybe support for
reiser etc. is more common now. Also, I tend to build my own kernels
and streamline them for only what I use, which affects this decision.
