BSD is not an option on the desktop, because if Linux is only missing drivers for some hardware, then BSD is missing drivers for most non-server hardware. You'll have to build a very specific desktop to run one of the BSD's; you'd spare yourself a lot of problems if you'd just run Linux.

I disagree. I've been running FreeBSD as my main OS for over a decade, and I have never taken extraordinary care with the hardware. I'll admit that my use of Nvidia cards probably helped. I've used other video cards though and never had any problems. (I understand kms took a long time in FreeBSD which probably messed up a lot of people.)
If you're interested in gaming Linux is a better choice. Some games will only run in Wine on Linux. And Linux has Steam.
