6 of one, half dozen of the other.  :)

Honestly, whatever you already have set up is the best choice.  If 
you're experienced using either, then you'll probably be comfortable 
with whatever tweaking Quadtone requires.  Any other question of BSD vs, 
Linux is really an issue regarding everything BUT using the machine as a 
dedicated print spool.   I'll know more once I iron out the install 
process tonight.  Need to pick up some hardware first.

Maybe it's a huge PITA on Linux, but a breeze on BSD.  I wouldn't 
imagine much of a difference, but since I don't have a BSD box, I'd have 
to compare my Linux notes with someone else.  Either way, I'd like to 
get a "B&W on *nix" type paper out of all this.
