Good:
* postgres is really good for concurrent accesses (in part because of it's
better-than-row-level-locking)
* postgres is stable. I don't think I've heard of many non-hardware crashes
for a while now
* php has good support for postgres
* good feature set, won't hold you back
* good with a huge amount of data, and/or many table joins

Bad:
* no replication (I suppose if you really need it, there are replication
soultions, but maybe not as good as oracle or db2), which means if you're
talking intense queries, you'll need to get a really big box that can handle
all those requests by itself.
