I've been using an 8700 that's worked flawlessly for me in NetBSD. It
should do at least as well in FreeBSD. I worked out that the cost for
an 8700 was lower than a Travan after buying 15-20 tapes. BUYCOMP
usually has several different 8mm tapes for $3-$5 ea. When I was
looking, Travan tapes were at least $20 each.
