With all due respect, Trond, that's a little one-sided, considering
that you represent a company that markets a Postgres-based product.  
=)

A better answer would be (as usual), "It depends."  I'll refrain from
a debate about the merits of each, but the advantages Postgres offers
are not always worth the added complexity.  The right choice depends
on the application.

The OP won't go wrong with either one, but I suspect she'll find more
documentation for MySQL than for PostgreSQL, which might be a
significant consideration.
