Personally, the cavalier attitude towards data integrity displayed by the MySQL folks circa the last time I used it in anger (~1998?) made Postgres a simple choice for me. The specific problems I had then are undoubtably fixed, but the initial culture of "return possibly bad values, fast!" seems like it is still causing problems. I've had issues with Postgres in the past, but it's trustworthy software developed by a trustworthy team.
