Which one are you most familiar with?  That is the best way to decide. 
If you aren't very familiar with any of them, I strongly encourage you 
to pick one OS, and learn it before putting one of your critical 
services on it.  I think all of this is covered in the user guide under 
http://squid-docs.sourceforge.net/latest/html/x94.html.
One quick note about FreeBSD...  I just put a proxy server in place 
running FreeBSD with 4 cache drives each with 10GB used for the cache 
and 2GB of total RAM.  About once a day, squid would die and restart due 
to a malloc error.  Following the FAQ, I recompiled squid using 
--enable-dlmalloc, and this hasn't happened since!!

Here's a very basic overview of the different distros...
