Personally, XFCE would be the better choice, not just because I prefer it, but also because the man behind it is, I believe, French, so if you had any problems, you could most likely communicate in your own language.

I use PC-BSD as one of my OS'es and quite agree about zfs; it is too complicated for a normal user system.
