FreeBSD is good for networking and high end servers. BSDi is geared towards commercial customers who feel the need to spend lots of money. NetBSD is meant to run on anything... hence the NetBSD Toaster Jokes... OpenBSD is security oriented. The code has been gone through line by line and examined for any security holes. You can find much more by going to http://www.freebsd.org and searching the mailing lists for this question.
