Not sure why others downvoted you. (Maybe because you didn't name the alternative you obviously had in mind.)

But I think you have a fair point: If it is about quality and stability, why not going from Linux+ZFS straight to FreeBSD+ZFS?

Or OpenSolaris+ZFS, if that project hadn't died.

OpenSolaris is effectively dead, but its successor is the illumos project -- which has multiple distributions such as SmartOS. So you could use SmartOS+ZFS.
