Well, I mostly use FreeBSD and I prefer it in general.
But for router/firewall I think that OpenBSD suits better. All the
tools are available out of the box and that just works. 

There are few things missing in FreeBSD (for our need at work):
- missing tcp signature in OpenBGDd.
- missing pflow.
- some problem with carp (for example flip-flop of master/backup when a
  machine boots up, but carp would be better in FreeBSD 10.0).

OpenBSD is not perfect too, it would be nice that pflow handles ipv6
and the support of one year is a bit short. But nothing is perfect.

Not really.
