He's probably going to want ACL support in the filesystem, and I believe 
that's currently best supported under ext3 and XFS. Under other 
circumstances I'd agree with you - though it's worth noting that neither 
reiserfs nor ext3 need a regular fsck for normal operation.

Speaking of which - I understand that Samba 3.0 supports ACLs in the 
filesystem, and can even allow you to edit the ACLs from a Windows 
NT/2k/XP workstation using the standard windows GUI. As such, I'd start 
by experimenting with that, and see how you go. I haven't personally 
worked with this setup yet, so I can't offer practical experiences, but 
it seems a good place to start.
