I'd just like to note that in MY brief experience with Ext3, it sucked. 
Crash and burn, reformatted with ReiserFS and all was good again.
I've been using ReiserFS on my systems for the past 3 or so years and 
haven't had any problems. On power outages I've had to manually 
restore / fix Ext3 and Ext2 partitions, not with ReiserFS. (yes, I need 
to buy a UPS) ;)

Also, I know you can convert a Ext2 partition over to ReiserFS, it's 
buried  in my notes somewhere... and I've done it successfully.

Just another view.
