My choice of BSD is generally FreeBSD, chiefly because BSDs more in line with my beliefs and taste than most Linux distributors. It's also going to be the first of, if ever any, a major BSD has a software readily available for it without twisting arms.
However, I am very partial to a couple other systems as well:
* OpenBSD -> Lean, mean, and nice package management. I also like the shell.
* Slackware / Zenwalk -> Simple package management (Zenwalk makes it nicer as well), and I prefer the Slacky style way of managing services. Less overhead than FreeBSD, as simple as the old Unix/BSD style (similar to OpenBSD), and a hell of a lot less WTFs/minute than SysV style.
* Ubuntu -> Because I'm to tired to abuse shit into working all the time, and even if the stupid S.O.B. was brain damaged, it'll probably both work and have a package that works with some version of Ubuntu. The downside is so many packages are basically from Debian!
