I'm using squid at my house; I have a measly 56K connection, and it actually helps out... About 1/3 of my web traffic doesn't hit the leased line, which is a help. As for ease of use, it's really simple; I compiled it on NetBSD running on an old Macintosh without a hitch, so I assume it would work out of the box on FBSD as well.
