I'd go with the one you feel is the best desktop OS. For me that usually counts BSD out (great server, bad desktop).
this is not true. freebsd in particular supports all of the latest free desktops and also has good support for haskell packages: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=haskell&stype=all the only downside for new users is that freebsd by default does not use a livecd for installation ubuntu offers a livecd installation and has a great selection of haskell packages as well by virtue of its debian roots
