Hybrid kernels are only useful for closed-source bullshit where you're forced into that paradigm. There's nothing wrong with a monolithic kernel from a development perspective -- you can load and unload drivers in FreeBSD in the same manner that you do in Windows or OSX.

I've done driver development in both FreeBSD and Windows XP: writing FreeBSD kernel modules is just like writing normal code; writing XP kernel drivers is like writing normal NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL code, except with a shitty convoluted toolchain and a coconut up your ass.
