From a business perspective, I think it's easier to pick up *BSD talent. Although the pool is smaller, the pool is more talent dense. If you can afford to not care about the kernel (serverless etc) Linux is fine, if you have to care about the kernel and hardware I'd pick FreeBSD 100% of the time. Also much easier to influence overall project direction and get patches integrated.
