Although it's really off-topic here; a short answer:

All have derived from 386BSD

FreeBSD aims at Intel x86 and Dec Alpha, I think this is the most widespread
of the 3.
NetBSD aims to port to as many platforms as possible f.e. Mac68k, MacPPC,
Atari, Amiga
OpenBSD has a focus on security; a good choice for setting up a firewall for
example.

Depending on what you want, you may choose.
