Of the various file system types available on Linux from SuSe 9.1 distribution (ext2, ext3, reiserfs, and others), which one is the most generally useful and why would I pick one over another?
First of all, none of those file systems you list are network filesystems. Network file systems are eg. NFS, AFS, Coda, Intermezzo, Samba and others. If you need a network filesystem, the choice depends (as always) on your needs. Each file system type has distinct advantages and disadvantages. For simple non-Windows general use, I would probably pick NFS. If you need to share with Windows-boxes, Samba is probably the right choice.
