It's Apples and Oranges for the most part. Linux has better driver support, more versatility, and a more active community, also the kernel is a little cleaner just from being upgraded more times (better ram utilization and smoother load). After about 5 years of working with both, we saw alot more problems with freebsd and an almost impossible way to upgrade them. It wasn't worth it to use them anymore. Keep in mind our head tech learned on freebsd and is smarter then all of us chit chatting here. Do what you like (of course), it's your server. If a pro photographer is telling me how to shoot on the right camera I would listen, I suggest paying attention about a server OS from someone that has hosted tens of thousands of sites with thousands of servers over 12 straight extremely successful years.
