Oracle seems to be the defacto DB at big installations, where SQL Server is common at shops that just want or already have Windows Admins.
The tools SQL Server provides are just GUI'fied versions of cmd line tools available on the other DB's mentioned here... so just saying "it's better because you can click on things" is not really a valid argument.
Not even mentioned above, but IBM's DB2 has a lot of GUI'fied admin tools as well as very robust terminal tools and a huge toolset available in the jtopen library. It's a good choice as well, although not as common in stand-alone installations (you'll encounter it more often bundled with things like as the backing db for AS/400 systems, etc)
