What would you all do?

I'd recommend something like RemObjects for the remoting. You could optionally use Data Abstract over RemObjects, which would allow you more flexibility in changing back-end DBs for different customers. However, I agree with Alessandro that it'd probably be best to go with MSSQL. It's a great DB, one of your clients already requires it, and there are free versions.
