Sure it's fast (or people say it is), but it has always had a real reliability problem. If you want something "faster" than ext3 then I would recommend XFS. I've been slowly migrating to it when I buy new disks. It seems pretty stable; again I don't know how fast it is because to me it seems just as fast as ext3. As for circumstances about when to use what type of filesystem where; I think that XFS shines on operations made to a large number of small files. Don't quote me on it though.
