Request: Opinion about databases

There is a raging war in the office where I work. We are trying to
decide on a database platform and no one can agree on which one to
choose. The database people want Informix. The (non-technical) upper
management wants an NT-based soulution. The people from Oracle
advertised that our company already uses their product. It's my job to
be the buffer between the two parties. HELP!! Please send me your
feedback. Tell me about your good experiances and bad ones. Do we really
have to spend $50,000 for a database ?
We are: An Internet (Web) publishing company, hosting various government
offices and corporations.
Our goals for the database are: To offer various information services
for our different customers. Some have existing, static dtabases on
different machines. Others have dynamic data that they (or we) should
update regularly.
The equipment we have is: A Sparc 20 server running Solaris, and a mixed
network of PC's running Windows `95 and Sun SParcStations running
Solaris. We could purchase a NT system if needed
