data=journal is not in very good state.

data=ordered works for normal use, but it will fail in heavy testing
on SMP due to exposure of preexisting bugs. I have forward ported a
couple of Stephen's patches which appear to fix that up.

data=writeback should be OK.

I'll get the ext3 fixes out over the next few days.
