It depends (tm) :-)
Postgres ist more featurefull, in terms of "real database" features, e.g.
it supports subselects and transactions (commit/rollback, no changes if
connection drops accidently).
MySQL ist faster but lacks these sometimes cruicial features.
For simple accounting, i.e. many inserts and mostly summarizing of columns
mysql would be the one I recommend.
-ch-
P.S.: the latest mysql beta now supports berkeley db which has transactions.
