I have a server 5 existing ext3 partitions on a dmraid array with several hundred gig of unpartitioned space. I have created the new partition and I'm about the create the filesystem.

No. There is no reason not to use ext4. It's a good all-around filesystem. Google are in the process of moving from ext2 to ext4. Now, give me a reason why you should listen to me?
