I think I would cite Oracle. They say their database runs much better on 
Linux than on Windows. If Oracle on Windows is arguably better than MS 
SQL, Oracle on linux must be a hands down winner.

The last time I used MS SQL was about 5 years ago, but it was hands down 
the biggest heap of crap in the database world back then. I guess it has 
improved, but if you think its the best out there I guess you haven't 
tried very much stuff.

Its only the Windows crap which ever really used ODBC. Most people have 
always used direct operations.
