ext4 on boot drives just because it's so standard and uncomplicated. Data drives either xfs or btrfs, depending on how froggy I'm feeling when I set it up. I don't use the fancy features of the filesystem. Hell, I barely even use lvm. I find all that stuff just gets in the way. I just want to put files on disk.
I've tried zfs, and it seems nice, but when you have a lot of storage, you need to have a lot of RAM to actually make it useful, and I don't.
