Sounds like ext4 might be a good choice for /tmp.

All Linux filesystems are good choices for tmp.
This allows linux to avoid the idiocy of solaris's tmpfs where writing a large file to /tmp can crash the box.

Alternatively you could use... tmpfs! Writing a large file to /tmp isn't
going to crash the box unless you explicitly raised the size limits on /tmp...
