It is "like freebsd" only in that they were both originally derived from UNIX which had a lot added to it over time by the University of California Berkley (the BSD = Berkely System Distribution). AIX is very different than other UNIX distros I've worked on. (Much like FreeBSD and Linux are different.) Administrative tools are very different on the various UNIX flavors as they are on FreeBSD and Linux and can be different even between Linux distributions.
However all UNIX/Linux variants have some very basic command names in common even if what those commands do exactly varies. For example ls lists files on all of them. ls -l gives a long listing but what is included in that listing might vary (at least in column placement). To see see differences in commands between various things have a look at Rosetta stone:

Z/OS is a completely different animal that does have some UNIX stuff but is really a Mainframe OS:

Regarding command differences between UNIX variants, the rosetta stone MensaWater linked to is a good resource, and others are also available - google for them.
If you are familiar with Solaris, IBM has some resources specifically to help you with the transition to AIX. One of them is at
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/a...ris/index.html.
Regarding performance, while I'm biased towards IBM, this really depends on the hardware (specific models) much more than the operating system. The application(s) you want to run also play a role in this, so ask the software vendors for their recommendations.
different between AIX and z/OS,what is different between AIX and solaris commandline
