You could also consider xfs, it's very god for large files. Even better, test your application with both types of filesystem, and then decide.
What size do you consider large files to be? I do a lot of digital photography and have loads of files around 10MB.
The "large" that the SGI folks had in mind when they designed XFS was files used in the production of animated feature films of the Pixar variety.
By those standards (as well as by others considerably more typical for a desktop system), 10 MB is certainly not large, these days.
But I do remember my first 20 MB hard drive for my Mac. What a phenomenal improvement that was over diskettes (even with the precious external drive). Ah, the good old days.

Thanks to everyone who responded. I've decided to go with ext3 and feel more confident doing so after reading the comments everyone has posted.
