My experience is that ext3 is good enough, and with drivers available for windows 2000 and XP you can use it for a multi OS backup system. If you need to.

Debian Administration :: Filesystems (ext3, reiser, xfs, jfs) comparison on Debian Etch

Conclusion : For quick operations on large file tree, choose Ext3 or XFS. Benchmarks from other authors have supported the use of ReiserFS for operations on large number of small files. However, the present results on a tree comprising thousands of files of various size (10kb to 5Mb) suggest than Ext3 or XFS may be more appropriate for real-world file server operations. Even if JFS minimize CPU usage, it should be noted that this FS comes with significantly higher latency for large file tree operations.
