You'll need to narrow your difference scope down. Cost? Performance? Scalability? Maintenance? etc... — Russ Cam

The paramater to choose between the two is the price tag. How much do you "expect" to pay for your database. If its zero then MySQL is probably good enough for you, if its 10k then SQL Server is probably good enough for you.

As for the actual differences, there are too many to list.
