One is not better than the other for all tasks. Each has advantages and disadvantages. What do you plan to do with your computer? For general home use, I see no reason not to stick with the default ext4. This review covers several use cases, but it is a little out of date. http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/388

Ext4 has given me problems with the mouse, not XFS nor JFS.

No, gapan, I think your wrong. It looks more like being caused by a butterfly in Sidney. :D

JFS uses extremely aggressive caching, and is guaranteed to eat your data. Ext4, in my experience, is fairly stable. Use Ext4.
