My choice would be(is) MySQL. Simply because most hosting companies offer
MySQL databases. I have yet to see a hosting company that offers Postgres.

| I'll use mysql if I *have* to, and I don't need transactions.
If you want a quick and easy DB, or don't have the option, use MySQL.
If you need transactions, replication, and other more complicated stuff
use PostgreSQL.
I love Postgres, but mysql is more supported. Dunno why.
Me.
