Depends on your use case. PostgreSQL is better if you actually USE any of its more advanced features (e.g. PL/pgSQL, JSON support, etc). But if your data model is simple and your need for scale is high, then MySQL is FAR easier to cluster and scale. Especially if you're working with Percona or another MySQL variant.
