I've used both for a long time and have to think that you just
had a rare case of bad luck with whatever went wrong on
your ext3 partition, not a statistically valid sample.  I've
seen plenty of power-related crashes that required fscks, but
they always recovered the data.

I do recommend backups of anything important, though.  In
my case the filesystems have been more reliable than the
underlying hardware.   Using backuppc 
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ is painless once you
set it up.
