Thanks God it's not up to you!

The way you say things looks like MySQL it's the only DB who works.

Since the newer versions of PgSQL are much more quickly than MySQL and 
robust.
(try to put a high requested radius server using MySQL as backend you need 
more hardware throwput then when you use PgSQL).

I use PgSQL on high performance enviroments and WAS using MySQL on some web 
servers, since I moving to use only PgSQL now.
