PostgreSQL used to be tougher to install and configure. No longer true. PostgreSQL used to be significantly slower at some tasks as compared to *SOME* configurations of MySQL, but this gap has pretty well closed, PostgreSQL arguably comes closest to meeting the SQL standard. PostgreSQL is supposed to have a replication story now (I haven't looked into it), as well as built in full text search. Over many deployments in which I have been involved, PostgreSQL has been trouble free. I see almost no PostgreSQL problem questions asked on the list, versus a fair number (mostly characters set configuration issues) for MySQL.
I don't use MySQL (especially since there are occasional questions about its FOSS status, but then there is the fork - does that represent a dilution of maintainers?), so someone else will have to tout its benefits.
