I have used both MySQL & Postgres: I feel a lot more comfortable with
Postgres, as it seems to be both simpler and more sophisticated. MySQL
has several DB engines for different purposes, Postgres has just one
that appears to be more capable than the collection of features from all
the MySQL DB engines combined. In the last 12 years I've gone looking
for comparisons between them 3 times; and each time, Postgres comes out
better overall.
