Go with 4.9. Or, possibly waith until May and go with 4.10. They will be supported for bug and security fixes for quite a while and by the time you need to move to 5.xxx then you will have gained enough experience in the FreeBSD world to feel comfortable moving to the 5.xxx line - which by then, should also be ready for your servers. ////jerry
