If this your 1st time with BSD and you want to use this system as main OS, I thing you should try FreeBSD first (if you don't like cli installer there is a faster&more GUI way via PC-BSD GUI installer).
The main reason is that the community is bigger (there fore more problems are either solved or you'll solve them quicker), there are more pkg and the ports are more up-to-date etc.
Don't get me wrong DragonFlyBSD is fantastic (HAMMER ect - I'm using it now on my eeepc) but I think it is better to start with something easier and after a while get your hands dirty in DFBSD. In fact, DFBSD is "based" on FBSD so if you get to work your hardware in FBSD it should (hmmm) in the end work with DFBSD.
Eg. wifi in eeepc under DFBSD is activated the same way as in FBSD 7.2.
With applications it seems that linux is nearly "bleeding", then there is FBSD and then other BSD (with DFBSD).
