Commenting on this purely from a support perspective, the one thing that is
a huge plus for me is that XFS has a very active development team. I came
across a minor issue a few months ago and had a patch within hours.

This is purely hearsay, but I remember reading a comment from someone who'd
contacted IBM and been told that they only had one developer currently
working on JFS.

FWIW, I currently use XFS for everything but /boot on my Linux systems.
