Reiser is fast and looses it's data fast as well, if there are any disc-problems - Better use ext3!
Sounds more like FUD, or can you substantiate that? I had a disk go bad recently, I copied the partition with dd_rescue (which rocks), and used reiserfsck to fix up a few things. If I lost any files they weren't important, but a bunch of files had nullblocks in them. The latter is obviously unavailable with any fs.
Reiser doesn't support quotas (as I know) and that's why I don't use it either.
You don't know a hell of a lot about reiserfs. It's had quotas since, uhhm, SuSE 8.0 (or was that ACLs, quotas even earlier)? Other distros were much slower to catch up, but that's a poblem with those distros, not reiserfs.
