NetBSD -- to be most compatible over all platforms, OpenBSD to be most secure, FreeBSD to be the free Unix, DragonFlyBSD for huge computing if I remember well. And so on, each has a purpose slightly different. And we all benefit from it. We use much of OpenBSD work in GNU/Linux systems. Most promising so far will be Hyperbola/BSD system, that will become GPL3+ BSD based system.
