"The FreeBSD operating system is finally through it's buggy 5.x series and into the more reliable 6.x series. Most of the problems of the old days - kernel panics on multi-CPU machines, AMD64 troubles galore, and shaky network drivers - are gone. FreeBSD still isn't perfect, but at least with 6.0-RELEASE it's more stable and functional than it has been in the recent past."

Since it's hard to benchmark stability, I guess we could refer ourselves to netcraft to see how many of the top 50 servers are running what OS
I can see that this is VERY popular argument among FreeBSD users. So again, read http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/accuracy.html#whichos
FreeBSD is among few OSes that report uptime remotely. Linux, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX etc. does not (or cycle back to zero after 497 days).
