Google knows;-)
Actually you make a small partition for each filesystem and try it out.

The differences are many:
ACLs are an extension of the standard Linux Discretionary
Access Control (DAC) mechanism. SELinux is a supplemental
Mandatory Access Control (MAC) scheme.
ACLs are based on the withdrawn POSIX P1003.1e/2c DRAFT
Standard and reflects a rough consensus of the industries
Unix security experts of its day. SELinux started out as
the Flask micro-kernel security architecture.
ACLs are part of the base kernel, while SELinux is a
Linux Security Module.

It's really much more the other way around. SELinux
uses extended attributes (xattrs) and can take advantage
of any filesystem that supports them.
