I use ext3 because of all the established tools that are available for it (the stuff from e2fsprogs and e2tools packages, for example). Also, I never had the need to try it myself, but I hear that ext3 filesystems mount with larger set of default options than xfs or reiserfs do. Mounting ext3 filesystems with options equal to default reiser or xfs supposedly achieves excellent performance.
