This came at the right time, I was toying with the idea of switching to FreeBSD from Linux, for my daily driver.
Also, I keep on hearing great things about i3. I'm currently using Xmonad and is pretty happy with it, except for the occasional glitches with some applications. The switch to a predictive tiling WM has hugely improved my work flow. should try out i3 sometime, just to see how it fares when compared with Xmonad.
