When you delete something from a filesystem then you should expect it to
be gone, it will only be recoverable by chance or luck.

Ext4 is an evolution of ext3 so recovering deleted files shouldn't be
much different, on the other hand, day to day usage can benefit from
using ext4 over ext3. Give testdisk a try, it might not be able to
recover everything though, depending on what you've done to the fs after
you deleted the files.
