As far as ease of use with ojb, all are equal. 

So the following is just about preference, but take this with a grain of salt since I 
am, by no means, a database "expert" (could that be why I am using OJB? :-) ).

I have used both postgresql and mysql on real production products. The impression I 
get from most DB types, is that mysql is a "toy database" and postgress is more 
"industrial strength". This may have been true 5 years ago, but I don't think that is 
true anymore.  

I find that mysql has nicer tools. 

Given my experience I would vote for mysql. I find it up to any task I throw at it.
