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.
