My suggestion would be to host it on wiki.freebsd.org and then
eventually convert it into an article or chapter of the handbook. If
you don't have an account for the wiki you can drop by #bsddocs or
#bsdports on efnet and someone will get you sorted.

As for the article, I think it would be most productive to examine
which of those you linked can be replaced with the document you intend
to write, then make sure that the new document includes the
information of the outgoing documents. We don't really need >3 "Linux
vs FreeBSD" articles, just one really good one.
