A dual license means you can choose which license you want to use the product under. If you choose GPL, it's GPL all the way, you can redistribute it with source in any way you want along with any product you want, propriatery or open. dynamicly linking with GPL libraries is also fine,

No, this is a reason to write Free Software :-) You should use the product which is best for your application. Since I am not an expert in Databases, I prefer not to comment about using either of these products. I do think that using open source is better for both the customer and the vendor,
