Now, I don't want to start a religious war, but...

Ext2 has the advantages that 1) it can fall back to ext2 in recovery cases, and 
2) because of that, it has all the well-tested ext2 recovery tools available.

People I know who've used Reiser say it's wonderfuly fast, but if it corrupts, 
well... save your time, and go straight to restoring your backups.

Also, take a look at the tune2fs options.  I understand -O dir_index will set it 
to use a b-tree index for faster handling of large directories.
