One thing I appreciate about using Django and its DRM is that it hardly matters what database I use.
If I'm writing SQL by hand I much prefer Postgres to MySQL since it is more standards conforming and has fewer random quirks. But given that Django generates the SQL for me, which database to use is largely a matter of ease of deployment, and on AWS that's MySQL (via RDS) so that's what I use.
