The TV server 3 manual recommends that if you're using MS SQL then use the Express edition which is free, it also details how to limit the memory used by SQL instance.

I have it running on my HTPC without issue, it doesn't hog memory. I use SQL regularly hence why I use MS SQL on my HTPC.

The speed of running SQL queries is more likely to be influenced my the database schema, indexes & MP code rather than the DB engine.

So I think the answer to your original question is - whatever suits you best - MP works with both with similar performance.
