I have to agree with others who say the NFS implmentation in Solaris is the one that others should be measured against. Rock solid, having adminned Solaris and SunOS for many years.
Recent versions of HP-UX seem to have borrowed a lot of Sun technology (an update to 10.20 gave NFSv3, Sun's autofs, and ONC+ in one fell swoop, and 11.00 incorporates all these also). I work at an all HP shop right now, and I've have to say it works OK, though we don't make heavy use of NFS (no shared home dirs, SW builds on NFS filesystems, etc.), just some light data sharing.
As for FreeBSD, I only have a 3.0-CURRENT box current as of Jan. or so, and a 2.2.8 box, so I don't have firsthand experience, but reading the mailing lists, significant progress has been made on general NFS stability and functionality (e.g. NFS over TCP). I don't have a Linux box, so I can't comment there.
