IMHO, there is no onesize-fits-all.
My true recommandation would be to make a matrix and try mosty flavors,
and pick the one you like/need:
items on my personal lists:
- uptime (without rebooting)
- source / binairy updates
- performance
- maintainablity (over > 5 years)
- tools for embedding
- readablity documentation
- scalability
- special (kernel)features (hardware-support, carp, ALTQ, ZFS, nfs)
- support from community (friendly / hardstyle / user / devolopers)
- commandline / gui preference.
- commercial support
- add your items here
For each I could give examples, but that might add Oxygen+Oil to a
flamewar :)
so take this this list add/remove your items and value them,
cheers,
mvn
