I have to say I recently made a similar choice; I chose FreeBSD because I could easily download an ISO for it though.

The documentation is exceptionally good, and the simplicity for configuration is a nice bonus.

OpenBSD has had downloadable ISO for a long time. It is easily reachable from ftp or http. FreeBSD's site requires for and takes more clicks to get to.

After reading this post I went looking, looking over the FTP site I did find an ISO. Thanks.

My memory was always that ISOs were hard to find, and when I didn't see a big flashing link I guess I tuned out.

I'll revisit OpenBSD in the future, for the moment I'm enjoying FreeBSD though.
