Unfortunately, reiserfs burned me in a power failure situation.
What distro, how many years ago, and are you sure the hardware wasn't at fault?
A software bug destroyed a reiserfs partition I had, in SuSe 9.1, year 2004. The issue is on record in one of the suse lists. Here:

Interesting - so a hashing bug was introduced when the xattr stuff was patched into the reiser3 kernel code? Interesting... code changes always carry some risk, but I seem to have dodged that particular bullet. However, they diagnosed and squashed that particular kernel bug, and it hasn't reappeared, so that would not really be a factor in whether to use reiserfs now - especially since there have been bugs affecting all of the filesystems at one time or the other.
