Seconded the general sentiment around here. *If* you're posing that
question in such general terms, then the answer is almost certainly
ext4. It is a very good performer beyond the multi-TB range, thoroughly
tested, rock solid.
If you have needs so special you'd notice any difference towards
ext4, you'd know :-)
I slightly disagree on LVM: use it if you know you need it (I *do*
use it, but I know I need it :) -- just ask here.

That sounds like a terrible thing, but actually isn't, because you
will have a backup before doing something so dangerous, won't you?
Unless we are talking about that huge 400TB disk array which is
so big you can't afford making a backup. But then, perhaps, putting
*one* file system on that might be the wrong approach :)
I'd say ext4. Whether on top of LVM or not -- just pick the more
convincing arguments or try to poke some discussion around here :)
