as noted by others *BSD is not linux

among the linux options, the best option is the one that you as a company
are most comfortable with (and have the support/upgrade processes in place
for)

in general, the newer the kernel the better things will work, but it's far
better to have an 'old' system that your sysadmins understand well and can
support easily than a 'new' system that they don't know well and therefor
have trouble supporting.
