For me it depends. I tend to use the default and most-used filesystem. On Linux
this is ext[234].

On OpenBSD I use its default filesystem. It is good enough for most tasks for me.

For a filesystem reliability is the most important thing. Nothing else matters
if data is lost or access to it is unreliable.
