As others have said, it really depends on what you want.
e.g. For a file server you likely want XFS.
Most servers probably still run ext3, the reason for this being that
it's very well understood and any tool for dealing with file systems
works well with it. Generally, the only reason to move away from ext3
is if you have some kind of performance parameters where you need to
take advantage of the characteristics of one of the other filesystems.
