I would recommend PostgreSQL. Last year we moved from mysql to PostgreSQL.
More robust and powerful. Works with most platforms.

I agree with you there -- PostgreSQL is a much better database than MySQL

Unfortunately, many people have to host their sites on other people's
servers and don't get the choice.
