I want to echo the support for Postgres. I find it to be a bit more arcane than MySQL, but even in an extremely DB intensive app, Django's ORM is so slick that I rarely have to muck around in Postgres land. I think it's * slightly* better supported by Django, if you need to use things like distinct(), and other tiny little differences. Two Scoops of Django, which someone mentioned earlier, has become like a holy book to me when it comes to deployment, and they endorse Postgres as well. Navicat is indispensable for getting out of the ORM and seeing what the hell is going on in your DB, as I'm sure you already know. For another migration method, I'll also throw out the option of djang-extensions dumpscript (http://pythonhosted.org/django-extensions/dumpscript.html), which generates the ORM commands to create your database, and can be used for migration.
