ext3 or ext4 Filesystem?

I was first thinking about using the new ext4 filesystem but since im lasy and it seems like Ext4 isnt stabel yet so ill stick with the ext3.

- Problems with ext4 lock-ups when deleting files.
This is kind of bad thing since I'm going to use it as file server. Witch means downloading, deleting, editing, moving files.

- Switching to ext4 needs some grub configuration

- possible data-loss resizing ex4
I dont think im going to resize my drives to often but maby its gonna happen since i dont know how big partitions i want on different mount points.
