Arch is fine, I use it currently on one of my computers, but it can also be a lot of upkeep. Arch's wiki is great, but also different then BSD's documentation.

Arch is more choose your adventure, where BSD is more cohesive. I wouldn't choose Arch for a server, in the same way I probably wouldn't choose BSD for a desktop. They both have their place though. I would argue in the past BSD's strong point would have been networking. If you dig far enough though, both Linux and BSD, have positive and negative points in regards to networking. Also even though BSD has jails, Kubernets has supplanted some of what you might of used jails for in the past. Jails are still very useful of course though.
