I believe the most important design choice/decision when implementing your system is to make sure your trading system will only use standardized features provided by both vendors, and possibly other brands as well. If you are able to do this, the choice of database vendor will be less important for your business. Since it will be easier for you to migrate to another brand sometime in he future, you will be less dependent on those suit-and-tie-equipped sales drones who in a few years inevitably will try to have you pay higher support fees.
