Well there is no best file system. Basically, it depends what you are doing. For large files I suggest XFS. For small files and operating systems I suggest ext4. For solid state drive I suggest ext2. Once btrfs is complete it will be the best for solid state drives and the most feature complete. However, btrfs will always be slower on a normal hard drives as it has more feature such as cloning and spanning. I don't suggest reiserfs as it has some known corruption problems as it degrades over time.

Basically decide your application and go with it. I currently have two terabytes formated XFS for my movies. You really appreciate the speed when you have to move a big 1080P file.
