There used to be some advantages, but most of the file systems have seen 
upgrades too, so they aren't as apparent as they used to be.  These days 
if you watch spiffy new features in your file system look at BTRFS.  All 
eyes are on that for the next generation of standard linux file system. 
  I believe that it is also an option when installing a new system. 
I've considered doing an install with it just so that I can play with 
it's snapshotting features.
