You do not want LFS if reliability is your main goal.  It has some
problems that are difficult to solve, and I haven't have much time to work
on it for quite a while.

Wojciech's assessment of its speed characteristics is pretty good, I'd add
that LFS does well with parallel file writes to different directories (no
seek between files).  Parallel "tar x", for example, does very well.
