In response to Paul.

"For "reliability of data" I was thinking of using either ext3 or
reiserfs across a RAID set."

I have had some bad experience with ReiserFS but it was probably caused
by a low kernel version (2.4.16). Otherwise ReiserFS rocks when it comes
to resizing filesystems etc.
I would go with ext3 if I were you, I migrated to ext3 because of my
problems (kernel crash).
Don't use ReiserFS with kernels below version (and including) 2.4.16

I would have tested ReiserFS if I had the chance on a newer kernel but I
was not able (for several reasons) to upgrade to 2.4.18 or 2.4.19
