InnoDB in general performs considerably better than MyISAM, especially
on current MySQL branches.  Percona claims that their XtraDB engine has
a slight performance edge over InnoDB.  I don't have any direct
experience with MariaDB yet.

MyISAM can perform reasonably in an almost-all-read situation, but on
any modern-scale DB, as soon as you start throwing any significant
percentage of writes into the query mix MyISAM performance completely
tanks.  I've seen all-MyISAM customer DBs at a complete standstill from
write-contention bottlenecks.
