I'd reconsider. I won't contribute to any database flamewars (but this 
is not slashdot anyway ;)), because I lack the direct knowledge of 
mysql, but a short search on google for - postgres mysql concurrent - 
brings up a lot of links which indicate that postgres would be the way 
to go, see for instance the often cited

Performance under concurrent usage, mature implementation for 
transactions since ages and an outstanding locking mechanism (MVCC) seem 
to be the things which your application could profit by from the beginning.

But use what you're familiar with.
