The future of OpenSolaris looks highly uncertain at present, indeed. Among the BSD distributions, FreeBSD is the general purpose distribution, and the rest are special distributions for users with specific demands. It seems you will benefit most from FreeBSD given its wide userbase. We never have had any hardware issues with FreeBSD, but perhaps it is good to mention that we are not experienced in setting up wireless connections, which may be a requirement. Sometimes there is some unexpected behavior in automounting usb drives.
