I do not like these types of questions. Every fs has pros and cons, that is why there are more than one. To know which is best requires factoring in those pros and cons in your engineering design. This usually starts with benchmarks specific to your workload and knowing which pros and cons will benefit or risk your project.

This article does not highlight the pros and cons of each filesystem, nor does it show in depth benchmarks of specific types of workloads on each, nor the benefits and risks to data on each.
