They are all very fine filesystems, so don't worry. Each have their application; just go with the default. Very likely that will be either reiserfs (also known as Reiser 3) or ext3 (the successor to ext2, the original one Linus "wrote"). Both perform metadata-journaling, which means that you don't have to run fsck (think scandisk) at boot if the system is shutdown the hard way (think brownout).
Here's two benchmarks, in case you really care. Please be aware that benchmarking is quite difficult to get right, so don't take these benchmarks as "The Truth":
