I went on a quest a few years ago, thinking it would be good for the industry to standardize on a single next generation filesystem for UNIX. I started with ZFS on linux since that seemed to have the most vocal advocates. That lasted about a half year, until a bug in the code resulted in a completely corrupt disk, and I had to restore 4TB of data over a month from offside backups. That plus the licensing confusion around ZFS has made it impossible for ZFS to be the defacto choice.
I went down the BTRFS path, despite it's dodgy reputation when netgear announced their little embedded NASes, and switched my server over to it. The experience was solid enough that I bought high-end synology and have had zero problems with it.
