I'm not trying to decide anything for you, but if I were to be in your situation, I would either switch to FreeBSD because there is a clear reason for me not to stay with Linux, or because there is a clear reason for me to prefer FreeBSD. In your case, however, it seems that neither is clear. Back on topic. You could ask the users of the system you are wanting to migrate (The ones who will be directly affected by the changes) if they are willing to do things the FreeBSD way instead of the Linux way.
