Hi,

a loaded question. enough to usually launch an advocate war.

however, the real question is , which database engine do you have
the most experience with? as your knowledge of the database
will depict how fast and scalable you can make FreeRADIUS
work with it!  

both mysql and pgsql will work with FreeRADIUS 'out of the box'
after following the required configuration startup - username,
password, creation of the database and table population and
the configure access rights. 

I've used FR with both mysql and pgsql. Our main systems are
currently using pgsql.
