mysql is a great rdbms, but if it is enterprise level or mission critical applications that they need, then i suggest PostgreSQL for their db server.
PostgreSQL offers some better features. Things more closely related to Oracle and SQL Server that they might need...like replication tools, etc.
It is a more robust system. Of course this come at a cost to performance. MySQL is built on the premise of speed and economy...while the latest versions of MySQL support more features...it does still lack the enterprise level support needed by some clients.

is it a web project? or is it an application project? is it mission critical (i.e., financial software, internal applications, pricing software, etc etc)?
