I believe XFS copes fine with overstuffed directories.

Ext3 will perform a lot better if you use tune2fs and enable the following
features:

         dir_index
          Use  hashed  b-trees  to  speed  up lookups in large
          directories.

         filetype
          Store file type information in directory entries.

         sparse_super
          Limit the number of backup superblocks to save space
          on large filesystems.


man tune2fs - note that you MUST run e2fsck before remounting the
filesystems.
