BSDI is the greatest...Go with them.
^^^^^^^^
In your opinion.
NetBSD and FreeBSD are also excellent. I would recommend exploring
them all, and deciding whether a supported commercial package, or a
freeware package are what suits you best. Granted, BSDI's software is
excellent, but so is NetBSD and FreeBSD.
I am assistant admin of two BSDI machines, it works just GREAT.
As does my NetBSD-1.0_Beta box, and the NetBSD SLIP/PPP server my
co-worker and I run in our office.
