For long time, there were rumors that XFS is prone to data-loss on crashes (zeroed file blocks instead of written data, etc.). Afraid of this, I never used XFS by myself. The performance is said to be great, but the codebase is said to be too complex, large, and requiring special adaptation to run on Linux.
