I was wanting to have the following partitioning scheme on my 250 GB drive
/boot 100 mb ext2
/ 30 Gb ext4
/var 10 Gb reiserfs
/tmp ? Gb reiserfs
/home The remaining space ext4
How can I do this is cfdisk? I can't seem to be able to figure out the filesystem codes for the correct filesystem.
Also, does anyone have any recomendations? Would having /usr as a compressed btrfs filesystem be a good idea for speed? My main focus on partitioning is for desktop speed/responsiveness.

All cfdisk does is creates the partitions it does not create the filesystems. You will need to use mkfs.reiser4,mkfs.ext4, etc. command for filsystems.

Use noatime option in /etc/fstab so a read will not result in a write.
Make /tmp between 1-4GB depending on the size of your RAM and if how often you compile software. I have /tmp mounted in RAM as tmpfs which defaults to using half your RAM. I'm also using an SSD so I have logging set to tmpfs too.

/dev/sda1 / ext3 defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 /home ext3 defaults,noatime 0 1
tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,size=1536M,mode=1777 0 0

For me, it's one / plus one /boot, that's all
I recommend using a graphical partition tool, i.e. gparted for this sort of task, much more intuitive, pleasant.
