If it comes to features and future developments: ext2. If it comes to
speed: xiafs. (I did extensive tests on large filesystems)
I think both are very reliable. ext and minix are either very slow or
very limited.
I chose xiafs because I don't need the extra features at the moment
and like the extra speed.
