It depends on what modules are loaded into the kernel and when.  My
practice has always been to keep the OS partitions (especially / and 
/boot) on ext3.  Since I don't store my Ardour sessions in /, but in
another partition, it's never been a problem.

I've been using reiserfs, but am considering a move to something that
will have continued support in the future.
