You are asking the wrong people. We here on the PostgreSQL mailing list will tell
you that you shouldn't touch MySQL except with a long stick, and for almost all
use cases PostgreSQL is preferable. The people on MySQL mailing lists or forums
might tell an entirely different story.
I would say something about license and free software, but if you plan to lock
yourself into the cage of a cloud hosted database, that probably doesn't matter much.
