I've not been happy with the stories about the "stable" 2.4.x
kernels.
Everywhere I read people saying "not for production use".
Would you recommend adding ext3 to 2.2.19 (ext3-0.0.7a) or moving to
2.4.1x and using ext3 there (ext3-0.9.12)?

I suggest 2.4.10-ac12 + Rik's hogstomp patch[1] + ext3-0.9.12.

I am running 2.2.19 + ext3 on all my production systems with great results. I feel that 2.4 is still too much of a moving target. 2.2.19 is well tested and stable, with no new patches coming out every other day.

The ac kernels come with ext3 already built in, and there's an ext3 update for them at http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/ext3/ The Red Hat rawhide kernels at ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS also contain recent ext3 built in.
