PostgreSQL if I need a relational db, Mongo if I don't.

I'm curious about what Mongo offers in those situations, because I've never used it, and I think my first instinct is to just use PG no matter what. (And I don't mean that in any kind of flame-bait way, I've just never used it.)

For me it's personal preference. I work mostly with Javascript, so Mongos query syntax and JSON like document structure feel familiar.
