FreeBSD concentrates on the i386 and alpha platforms and is the only one of
the three with SMP support (I think), which presumably makes it better for
high-end servers. NetBSD and OpenBSD both concentrate on making the OS
portable to many different architectures, with OpenBSD also emphasising
security and encryption tools. FreeBSD has the largest ports collection of
the three, with NetBSD quite close behind and OpenBSD a long way off. Which
one to use basically comes down to personal preference (unless one of them
has some killer feature) so you can basically try all three or pick one at
random :)
