I use XFS on a Gentoo Linux distribution for a MythTV box and it has 
performed well for me.  I've lost power on several occasions and the 
filesystem has remained intact.  However I recall reading somewhere that 
XFS is better tuned for large files (such as the TV recordings that are 
2+ Gb each) so you may want to check that before settling.

I have no idea about XFS on FreeBSD.
