InnoDB is considered "unstable" by some people. Going with InnoDB
also means you may lose some MySQLisms; like each table no longer being
represented as 3 easily transported files.
BDB, I'm not sure. Perhaps there are speed issues?
They're also not defaults*, which means that they need to be added
in through extra effort. Most people probably don't want to bother
until they absolutely have to.
* The MySQL-Max distribution uses InnoDB by default.
