Hi Mark,
I would depend on what your workload would be. Mostly writes, mostly reads,
how many writes/reads do you expect etc.
The best approach, from my point of view, would be, firstly, tune your
MySQL server (if you've not done it yet) before getting into engine/tables
optimizations which can be more complicated.
