The *most* robust? Probably something seriously expensive from IBM or similar.

I'd go with ReiserFS or Ext3. Both are very good. I use ReiserFS
pretty much everywhere. No running-out-of-inode problems with ReiserFS
so I prefer it over Ext3.

Then why not simply use a LiveCD like OpenWall? Unbreakable file
system as it's all read-only (or RAM). Can't beat read-only. :-)
