Depends a lot on what you are doing. We use Mysql for data collection and Postgres for reporting. Mysql is faster but Postgres has more functionality. Mysql tables can be read replicated across several servers. Postgres doesn't do replication but supposedly will support read/write replication relatively soon. Postgres supports transactions, while Mysql doesn't really. Each database has its strengths and its weaknesses.
