I have used ext4 for many years while I have been watching zfs and

What in particular do you find attractive about them?
Can anyone recommend either one for a normal (non-developer,
non-hobbyiest) user who does backups and values his data and wants
reasonable reliability?
Ext4 on top of LVM.
If you want to play around with new tech then I'd give ZFS on Linux
a try, but if you just want your machine to work stick to what you
know. I'd avoid BTRFS entirely unless you are an aspiring BTRFS
developer.
