The chart gives a good overview but additional research should be done before making any major decisions.

FreeBSD Waters Are Easily Waded isn’t a comparison but gives a good overview of the nature, history, differences, and advantages of FreeBSD. The article was published in December, about a month after FreeBSD announced the release of version 6.0.
