It's always hard to answer a question about that.  I've worked with both
and found that if you're used to one, you'll find the other odd.  After
you get familiar with them, though, you'd find that they're about the
same thing.

One thing I would point out though--there are a lot more people on this
list familiar with PostgreSQL than MySQL.  Not necessarily because MySQL
is bad, but because PostgreSQL has been traditionally the preferred open
source database for enterprise applications, whereas MySQL did not
really support things like transactions and foreign keys for a long time.
