Evaluate them both and see what you think.

Sorry, but our position on this is that we won't make "use xxx over
yyy" statements given that it's impossible to even answer this
question correctly for any given query.  Different people have
different needs, and whereas FreeBSD might be the clear choice for
one, BSDI may be a clear choice for another.

In other words, we're not going to give you a canned answer, nor will
we attempt to cite "reasons" which may or may not even be relevant to
your situation.  Get whichever OS the person who will be *maintaining*
your system is most comfortable with.

Regards,
