That question is better suited for a FreeBSD support list.

That's tough to say.  Depends on your needs.

Look at the 9.10 new features.  If you need those, you probably do 
want 9.10.  A couple of nice ones off the top of my head: the new 
"in-view" zone option for sharing zones among views (useful in 
multiple-view authoritative nameservers); and the prefetch feature 
for recursive resolvers.  And of course on the tools side, 9.10 
boasts the new delv(1) tool.

9.9 is the current Extended Support Version (ESV), so it's likely to 
outlive 9.10.  If you're after long-term stability, ESV might be 
important to you.
