My company does a lot with both MySQL and PostgreSQL, and even that big
proprietary database whose name I can't recall. I recently set up
multi-master replication with MySQL and was impressed with how robust
and straight-forward it was. MySQL's built-in replication is quite
nice.
We use PostgreSQL with replication via Slony. I'm merely a
consumer of this setup -- didn't do it myself, but it's been rock-solid
on our installations.
Quite honestly I've seen great MySQL and PostgreSQL installations
consistently over the past few years. It really does boil down to
experience and comfort.
