The thing is, you said this setup gives you the best of both worlds, but don't mention that there's a downside. Also this was to someone new to unix - with that background, this would mean learning two similar but different OS at the same time, and a VM monitor - not impossible but it does make things more complicated (not to mention increasing demands on the machine). My advice to the OP would be to get some hardware with normal keyboard/ monitor (it doesn't need to be particularly powerful but installing on a serial-console-only machine like the APU gives additional challenges, especially with FreeBSD), pick an OS to try (there's no reason from your description that would make me want to use anything other than OpenBSD) and have a play.
