I think the low down is that while MySQL is very fast it is not as scalable or as true a RDBMS as PostGreSQL. MS SQL 7.0 I will not comment about since I would never run a production website with that product.
I guess this has the potential for a mid-sized flamewar, but also have a look at Ben Adida's recent article "Why Not MySQL ?" (http://openacs.org/why-not-mysql.html) and the ongoing discussion on Slashdot (http://slashdot.org/articles/00/05/05/0920247.shtml).
