This is quite a common question and unfortunately there is no right answer. I've worked with both databases and both are very capable. The main points you need to consider are (and in many ways these will dictate your choice):
- The overall hardware strategy within your organization.
- The skill base within your organization.
Having said this, from my experience on a very similar type of project, I found the MS SQL / .Net route to be slightly easier, mainly due to tighter integration between the database and development technologies.
