Having used both in production, I agree with the above. It's not going to make or break your business or project.

I will also add that their are giant companies relying on both databases with great success. Facebook still runs on MySQL, and contribute back to it. Youtube I'm not sure about, but it did run on MySQL for a long time, well after it got massive. I'm sure examples exist for Postgres (Amazonm since they moved off Oracle?)
