OpenSolaris if you want to use ZFS, it's where the development is done and you're more likely to get the support and fixes. To make things easier I would suggest you take the "stable" 2009.06 version and add the contrib repository.
Personally I wouldn't have thought either was an obvious choice for a machine where the roles include multimedia. Solaris & OpenSolaris a fair bit weaker than others for multimedia ( I am a full time Solaris & OpenSolaris user ) and I haven't really had much luck with FreeBSD for that role either.
How about going half way and using Nextenta or Benelix or one of the other OpenSolaris distributions that have the features that can't go into OpenSolaris directly for various reasons?
