Now I only ever use Ext4 except for floppies and USB sticks. JFS is a nice system, especially for larger files and resource constrained servers. However, Ext4 has become so much better than Ext3 in perceived performance (especially when handling large files) that I see no reason to use anything but that. While it is still quiet young, it receives the most testing because it is the de-facto standard on most distributions. I personally never had data loss on Ext*, even when handling with unreliable laptops that kept freezing or producing kernel oops.
