    The most stable version of FreeBSD available today is 4.10. If your priority
    is to get something that will work, stay up, and not have to fiddled with, go
    with that.

    If you've got some time available, beta-testing 5.3 would be very helpful. In
    a matter of a few weeks, 5.3 is going to become -STABLE. It would be easier
    to stay up-to-date in the future if you go with 5.3.
