(personal note: I'd not use mysql, but postgresql instead. YMMV.)

Generally: use whatever technology you know already. This means I have a 
heavy anti-LDAP bias, but I know SQL quite well. For others, this may 
mean that they'll use LDAP since they know how to set it up and run it.

I think for what you want, both technologies can be used without big 
problems, so it really comes down on how much time do you spend 
learning the tools. (As for authentication: yes, there are many LDAP 
backends for server applications. But there are many sql backends for 
server applications, too.)

cheers
