Can someone with some expertise give a little more detail into the pros and cons of one vs. the other?

I have been looking at using *BSD for a project I'm working on and everyone seems to be of the opinion that one is better than all the rest -- although nobody seems to agree on which one and nobody so far has been able to tell me why.

whoah! first time someone mentioned about NetBSD, hehehe twas my first OS until i shifted to openbsd for some security tweaks that i need for my firewall. anyways, there is no better OS, its just that you need to specify what do you really need or what exactly you wanna do because it could help you choose which OS to use. frankly speaking, i havent tried freebsd yet but i cant say its lame or whatever. but if your a secufity buff, then try Openbsd, if not and you might wanna try freebsd for some other purposes then go for it.

FreeBSD. Before, my friend always tells me that FreeBSD is much better that OpenBSD, i really dont know whats the difference. But bcoz of this threads, i really think FreeBSD is much better.
