Has someone documented (recently, and correctly) what filesystems (XFS, 
ext3, ext4, reiser, JFS, VFAT etc.) are best for what tasks (mailboxes, 
database, general computing, video streaming etc.) ?

I messed around with Bonnie etc. a couple of years ago, deciding that XFS 
was better than ext3 for 4Mb mailbox fragments. Later I was quite 
impressed by an early ext4 on FC9, until it bombed. But I don't really 
have the skills to assess properly.
