How well is it instrumented? Not nearly as well as Oracle, but for some
reason I never had a real problem with SQL execution since PG uses a
cost based optimizer exclusively.

But how well are those open source databases instrumented ? How deep
under the hood can you look when stuff doesn't run as fast as you'd like
it to (other than reading the source code to try and figure out what's
going on) ? For me that is one of the most important features of an
rdbms database - and Oracle's instrumentation kicks butt :)

Agree, I was asked to "pick my own poison" from the open
source world a few years ago, before EnterpriseDB exited. If you are
going to use an open source db I'd highly recommend PostGreSql over ALL
of the other offerings out there, particularly MySql.

We use Postgres for a small application and I evaluated
EnterpriseDB earlier this year for its replication functionality so that
we could replicate transactions from the primary Production database
server to a failover server. I did a basic functional test, not a smoke
test. I was able to install it and set up the replication without much
heartache. Their technical support was quite good especially compared
to a similar company's product that we evaluated.
