About filesystems, I have benchmarked them in the past, and my
conclusion was:  When you're just writing a single file full of 10
gigs of zeroes, the filesystem doesn't matter. It's when you have a
lot of bitty files that the filesystem design choices start to become
apparent.  For this application, I'm not running a mail server or
compiling the kernel, I'm storing huge video files.

If you're using the filesystem for storing, streaming and/or editing video files, XFS will offer excellent performance. It was designed with this in mind. You may want to look at the xfs man pages to see all the bits you can twiddle when you make the filesystem.
