If there is concern about that, then the two filesystems to use would be
XFS and EXT3.
But, don't take my work for it, simply set up a bootable image with each
filesystem, create a bootable USB stick, boot it, then pull it without
unmounting it. Even pull power. With current >= 2.6.32 kernels those
will survive better than the others.
