FreeBSD has a lot more energy and community going for it, improving things, that makes it a better bet in the long run.

In the security area, for instance, there are very good things coming from the TrustedBSD and HardenedBSD branch, getting ported back to FreeBSD.

Can you provide further details or examples of how these two projects did or do improve FreeBSD's Security? I know for example about ASLR in FBSD 11 coming from Shawn Webb et. al. from the HardenedBSD project..

I seriously doubt that ALSR is coming in FreeBSD 11.
