To persist

I am working on a little application. REALLY small. Two views, 4 tables. I am creating this little app for my kids to use for a project, and so I can learn Tiles and Hibernate. I have the basics of Tiles down, and Hibernate is coming along nicely. But what should hold my database? I have been looking at hsqldb which is a nice LITTLE database. But I already have Postgresql installed on my computer, why not just use it? These are the questions I need to answer for myself but any guidance from the world would be nice to have.
