Precluding yourself from using a relational database means that you're not going to be able to use some of the best tools available for geographical data. Things like PostGIS are built around, and heavily dependent on, the fact that it is Postgres. Now, you may not want to use an RDBMS for everything, but at the same time, you don't want to pull it completely out of the system either.
