BSD.........kinda sounds like a drug.
Anyway I was wondering what every BSD is used for. Or which one you might consider the best....

Generally,
FreeBSD = performance
OpenBSD = security
NetBSD = portability
Those are extreme generalizations though. FreeBSD is probably the best for a BSD newbie. But go to each of the BSDs website to learn more. Just <name of BSD>.org
And yes, BSD is a drug

DragonflyBSD - a fork from FreeBSD 4.x, still in heavy development
Freesbie - live CD
...and I don't feel like explaining the rest. Go to their websites.
Most people just use F, O, or NBSD though. Only crazy people use the other ones.
