If you want a vote, as of Jim's talk I use ZFS for my data and a single (ie 
unmirrored) ext3 disk for bootup and /usr (ie stuff I can download easily, but 
which is also dd backed up).

I'm not terribly dexterours with ZFS yet. If I had to replace a failed disk, it 
would be a bit of funbling around, whereas a failed ext3 disk is a piece of 
cake.
