I don't think they are mutually exclusive, but I'd rather start off with 
one machine. I would find it easiest if it were on something like 
CentOS6.5.

When we have that running and reporting like we want it we can add a 
FreeBSD server.

The idea is that these machines would be available for a long time, 
ideally quite a few years. We want to have them with a stable time 
series of performance data so that when something disturbs the 
performance it sticks out like a sore thumb.
