It depends.

ext3 is more traditional, BUT reiserfs allows on-line resizing. On the other
hand, resizing cannot be done online without LVM because
if I resize disk, ssytem do not feel it until I unmounted file system (so if
I have LUN and file system on LUN and I resize LUN on SAN system, SuSe donot
see this resize until I unmounted file system - which makes difference
between ext3 and reiserfs neglible.

With the preformance:
- turn on async io
- be sure that you have write-baqck cache ON on RAID-5
- use RAID-10 if possible (RAID-5 is slow on writing and is extremely slow
in degraded mode)

Your performance problem is in disk system, not in file system.
