Hey!
For personal projects (a couple of small sites) I plan to rent a cheap VPS. OS is debian. What file system to choose? Evaluation criteria: reliability, speed, resource requirements, security. I plan to stop on ext3. Is it worth it?

PS I ask the question not for the sake of a holivar.

In 90% of cases, VPS is generated from a template. And in the same 90% there will be ext4 ....
I doubt that you will have a noticeable difference from choosing a file system;)

ext4, then if there is a failure, there are more chances for data recovery.

ext4 is the default on most modern Linuxes.
For small and medium tasks - behind the eyes.
