To sum up: you should use ext3 unless you have a good reason not to. You should also not consider "speed" as the only factor in choosing a filesystem, just like you would not consider "speed" as the only factor in deciding what car to buy.
It might be interesting to have a parallel poll about whether or not users actually chose their filesystem or whether they just accepted their distro default.
I just dont like how long it takes to format 4 partitions in ext3 during install...when XFS or JFS take like 2 seconds to format each partition. That and l337 d00dz use XFS/JFS/ReiserFS
Every cloud has a silver lining, except for the mushroom shaped ones, which have a lining of Strontium 90.

I use Ext3 now, but my external hard drive is formatted with hfsplus because its shared with macosx. and osx won't mount ext3... But I'm getting a new computer after the summer and I don't know what I'm going to use. I am thinking XFS or JFS, I will have to do more research on that. Or maybe ext4, I'll have to see what happens over the summer.
