Well, no one wants to see a potential Subversion user decapitated, so
I'd have to suggest Berkeley DB. ;-)
In all seriousness, you're probably safe with FSFS, but given how new
it is, you might want to wait for version 1.1 to have a little time out
in full release before you give FSFS a go. Depending on how bad a
restoration from backup would be for you, it might even be prudent to
give it until 1.2.
Of course, if you have lots of repositories, the probability that more
than one would go down at a time is pretty remote.
Basically, I think it comes down to this question: Do the benefits of
FSFS over Berkely DB justify the (possibly) increased risk of
repository failure for you? In the case of my company, I'm not
planning to use FSFS for any of our repositories until it's had a bit
more time to shake out---and we're smaller than you. So, I think my
answer is that I would probably go with Berkeley DB if I were you.
