Tip from someone that manages thousands of MySQL servers: Use InnoDB
when using MySQL. Using a crash unsafe product will yield undesirable

Or even switch to the Mariadb fork and use the crash safe Aria engine [1] instead of Myisam if you must be without transactions. That has the additional benefit of getting out from under the "Big O" - which is always nice!
