Who knows! If I recommend a setup, I'm sure there will be a nasty bug in 
11.3 and you loose all data :-p

What I use for my "production" part of the machine is ext3 for /, and a 
mixture of xfs and reiser for the rest. For example, home is xfs, and the 
/usr/src partition is reiser (compilation runs generate lots of small 
files, and run faster on a reiserfs partition). I use ext3 for root 
because it is probably the one with more support and better known - and it 
is the most crucial partition. As I keep most of my data out of it, it can 
be kept relatively small and fsck takes minutes.
