I use XFS for my /home partition
reiserfs on my / partition on FC2
previous to Fc2, I've used ext3(RH9) for like 8+months and experienced
no data curruption
Used reiserfs on FC2 and had data curruption like 3 times within this
month alone. 

Had to do a --rebuild-tree and lost quite a number of small files (which
I have no idea where they were originally) in /lost+found

if you do suspend/resume (like me) Pavel mentioned that it's best to use
ext2/3
