I'd recommend XFS. All the Workstations I manage run it without a hitch.
Very fast, stable, and xfsdump works. ;) I've also used the features
such as growfs to get more room (it works while the FS is mounted).
If your using NFS stay away from Reiser. I hear reports all the time
that "nfs+reiser is now fixed" but everytime I give it another go it
screws up bad....
