MySQL defaults to InnoDB. Is there a different metric for reliability you had in mind?

Where I work, we chose MySQL back in 2012 due to production quality async replication. I think (but am never sure) that that is now good in Postgres land.

PG has a lot of SQL features I'd love to use and can't. OTOH MySQL's query planner is predictably dumb, which means I can write queries and have good idea about how well (or not) they'll execute.
