I've personally used Percona/XtraDB quite a bit - if you are used to MySQL it is pretty much a drop-in replacement (i.e. you won't need to rewrite any queries). One nice feature is the ability to do hot backups without locking tables, using their XtraBackup:

TechZing recently had a really great interview with Baron Scwartz from Percona. A really interesting interview, highly recommended:
