Postgres has been simple for me to use and configure. I had only minor administration experience with databases previously (some Oracle), but found Postgres easy to setup and use. This is not to say that MySQL was difficult, only that I had initial problems with it and authentication (it seems I had to add user IDs directly to the tables). I'm using Postgres now as the backend to my library (about 2,000 books, 300 CDs). There was not as many pre-made scripts in PHP as there was for MySQL, but I did find lots of examples in C and Perl.
