I'm not saying anything.

I personally prefer XFS for data filesystems -- both the
inode/mega-data features as well as the ability to backup via
xfsdump, defrag with xfs_fsr (largely for service data
filesystems like IMAP), etc...

But Ext3 is fine for sub-100GB in my experience.

P.S.  Anal note:  Hard drive storage is typically in GB
(10^9), memory in GiB (2^30).
