Jim - ultimately I'd recommend deciding which of the three you WANT to
learn and then use it.

I know nothing about db* but I use both MySQL and PostGreSQL on a
regular basis. I like them both. I prefer the licence used by
PostGreSQL, I prefer the PostGreSQL replication but I use whichever
suits my needs. Some people are fanatical about one or the other, I
say pick whichever you're more interested in and learn how to use it.
