MySQL here, too. Even without a contract, the support is amazing. On later versions of FreeBSD it performs extremely reliably. Performance is semi-subjective, but overall I believe it is one of the fastest databases around, including compared to Oracle. Lastly, the size of the index / data files is the smallest I've seen of any database. On the down side, MySQL gets dinged because it doesn't support some advanced features like subselects, stored procedures, triggers, and foreign keys. It's my understanding that support for transactions and fine granularity (ie non-table level) locking require third party products. Generally most of these missing features are easily worked around. Nevertheless, if MySQL meets your requirements I'd highly recommend it. I've done the Oracle and Postgres things and wasn't happy with either.
