Hmm yes reiser is supposed to be better for many small files isn't it?

What about large files (ISOs, video, vmware disk images)?  What about 
oggs?

Would it be considered a bright idea to do separate partitions based on 
expected content and have different filesystems for them or (as Richard 
may note) is that starting to complicate things?

One of the plans is to start trying to develop a best (or should I say, 
"Ian's") practise for linux installs.  I have my own way of doing windows 
installs, now time to learn linux properlike.
