I guess it comes down to trusting GParted to get it right for the partition resizing and moving, with it generating all the various commands - I have yet to lose data when using a reasonably recent Gparted and kernel, whereas with LVM there are quite a few commands to get exactly right, and due to write caching/barrier problems on older kernels I have lost data through LVM.
