Newer versions of FreeBSD have newer ZFS code.
That said, ZFS on FreeBSD is kind of a 2nd class citizen still. FreeBSD
still gives equal (or higher) priority to ufs, and so some of the
changes in Solaris and derivatives (illumos) to make certain things like
NFS, CIFS, and COMSTAR/iSCSI work better with ZFS won't be present in
FreeBSD.
There are vendors who offer NexentaStor on hardware with full commercial
support from a single vendor (granted they get backline support from
Nexenta, but do you think ixSystems engineers personally fix bugs in
FreeBSD?) Such vendors include PogoLinux and AreaData.
I've also started conversations with Pogo about offering an OpenIndiana
based workstation, which might be another option if you prefer more of a
general purpose solution.
