For me, I use MySQL over Postgres because it was easier for me to configure and set up. I know MySQL much more coming from PHP and now I use Python/Django. I spent a few hours trying to setup Postgres and it would not install properly with Vagrant and I couldn't find really any helpful articles. I said fuck it, and installed MySQL on the VM in a matter of minutes and was up and running. Again, I am familiar with MySQL and got a production database on Amazon RDS pretty quickly.
