ext3 is the safest. For both others I'd suggest you to have UPS for your server. 
XFS is sensitive to power outages. 

For InnoDB consider using raw partitions or raw disks as a storage. This will give you
more performance/reliability and this will let InnoDB have full control over
the storage space, bypassing the filesystem layer.
