I would contest the last two.
I had two bad experiences with ReiserFS in our Mail Server, reiserfsck is
too slow and lost data.
IMHO ReiserFS have the best performance for Maildir but its only safe on
production if you´re sure that the system I/O will never fail.
nullfs (mount -t nullfs /dev/null /var/spool/mail) is even faster than
ReiserFS, and is just slightly more likely to loose your data. :)
I have /var on reiserfs on a busy RH 7.3 machine that hasn't had
problems in however many years that has been (2001?). It wasn't
rebooted in the last 4 of those years until just recently when I had to
move it to a new location, though - but it's on raid1 and I've
hot-swapped replacement drives into it.
