On a laptop in the meanwhile I tend to Ext4. Due to its robust block based 
journal and its additional work-arounds to make delayed allocation stable 
in case of crashes and data losses.

XFS favors absence of power losses. It will come up consistently, but it 
might loose more data.

That are at least my experiences. Although I didn´t try XFS with recent 
kernels I think for example that the rename case for delayed allocation is 
still not covered like in Ext4.
