I'd still recommend the Walnut Creek CD-ROM.  There are several
reasons for this:

1.  It's put together by the FreeBSD team.  The Infomagic one isn't.
2.  Walnut Creek provides significant financial support for the
    FreeBSD project.  Infomagic doesn't.
3.  The Infomagic CD-ROM appears to be a single CD-ROM.  The Walnut
    Creek edition includes two CD-ROMs for FreeBSD alone, and they're
    planning more for the following editions.  Guess where you get
    more.
