Plus, I know linux enough to admin the boxes I have. I have used freebsd some, but not well enough to be effective

Downtimes? I hate the break the news to you, but freebsd hasn't has any kernel or root exploits longer then I can imagine.
Just about 2 weeks ago or less, EVERY flavor of Linux including Redhat (and I'm assuming Enterprise as well) had an exploit that would give anybody root to your box.
Just because your paying for Enterprise, don't mean your not going to get any downtime.
FreeBSD is used widely upon corporations such as Yahoo!.
