I don't have any specific use case yet, I'm planning on having a little server at home. Things I'll use it for is hosting small apps, local dns server, monitor our LAN and maybe act as a host for multiplayer games.

What games? Few multiplayer servers, if any, would run natively on a BSD. Unless you're spinning up a MUD.

  Well for starters, I'm thinking of hosting a Minecraft server for my friends when we're bored

FreeBSD is much more similar to Linux (you'll feel right at home in a few hours of practice), usually performs better, supports more hardware, includes full ZFS support (including root-on-ZFS — and several FreeBSD developers work on ZFS full time), has decent compatibility with Linux binaries, and more software in the ports.
