there's no real answer - the only way to find out which is better for you is
to try it out - i tried it last year after two years linux (i still like it
too) - and i'm very happy with it -> thus if you have some time - find an
empty partition and install FreeBSD on it - if you don't have time and are
happy with linux - stay at linux
