It depends on the use case! I prefer relational databases (especially Postgres) any time I'm spinning up a web app. It's flexible enough that as the app grows, relationships will likely arise, and I can add a column with a foreign key to quickly reference what I need. NoSQL apps like Redis are great for temporary caching and storage though!
