A better idea might be to look at the hardware support of the individual 
systems first.  Not much use to chose one, only to find out that it 
doesn't run on the hardware in question (for example, FreeBSD has 
problems on my notebook where NetBSD runs more or less ok'ish, but 
NetBSD won't even boot on another machine on which FreeBSD runs very 
well.  I guess issues like that hold for OpenBSD aswell.)
