Personally, when I want speed or easy upkeep and intend on doing dumb simple things.
Postgres is more featureful, but if you don't intend on using those features, MySQL is consistently faster and historically smoother to update and keep running.

Also in the Enterprise, if you're doing a lot of sharding and replication across networks, Percona MySQL is a very compelling product. I say that as a Postgres diehard.
