Both databases are very good it all depends what you are going to be using it with and what resources you have available.

If you are using ASP or ASP.NET I would use SQL Server as it works very well and can handle many 1,000's of simultnious connections, but SQL Server is very memory intensive so you need allot of memory in the database server, at least 1Gig.

mySQL is a very good database and less memory intensive that SQL Server but more disk I/O intensive, so you need to make sure you are using fast hard disks. mySQL is let down when being used with ASP or ASP.NET as the myODBC driver is horrible and buggy, so if using these I would use SQL Server instead.

MySql will be more than ok. Yes, it lacks some of the enterprice features of SQL server, but MySQL server is a pretty good database. If it is going to be enough for yahoo, should be more than enough for you :)
