EXT3 is fine as that's what you know and are comfortable with. With
your workload you'll see no performance difference amongst the 3-4
mainstream Linux filesystems. The default data=ordered mount mode of
EXT3 should be fine. Use data=journal if you want maximum filesystem
integrity. With the speed of that Intel SSD you likely won't notice any
slow down--maybe a small difference going into hibernation.

That's strictly personal preference.
