Some people say that ReiserFS is a little bit faster than ext3 - but the chance of losing data is said to be higher, too. ReiserFS is definitly the younger FS - it has improved a lot from it's early beginnings, so it probably is an alternative to ext3 (otherwise distributions like SuSE wouldn't use it). However when it comes to the safety of my data I'm very conservative - so I'm prefering ext3.
