Learn both, that's the best thing you can do for your career. Use FreeBSD
for the BSD suff, and get a copy of UnixWare from SCO for $20.00 and learn
the System V stuff. I would suggest Linux, but it's not BSD or it's not
System V it's just Linux, but it is a very good OS for learning about Unix
in general. 

If you are a student, you can call Sun and see if they will sell you a
copy of Solaris at a reduced price.

BTW: pickup of copy of Essential System Administration for O'Reilly, it
covers BSD, Sys V, and AIX.
