To be honest I would start with
1. buying good hardware
2. make backups
3. use stable kernels
4. user raid
5. use a UPS (I have had far more drives failures then power failures)
6. worry about which filesystem

Your order might vary but unless you have done all the above it probably
won't much difference which filesystem you choose.
