Choosing host for links?

Choosing host for links?
Hi,

First of all, does the 2.0 version of links will use SQL?, I ask this because I want to pick a host right now to install links, but I don't know if I should aim at a host that offers some sort of SQL support(my interest is to speed up searches, and I've heard that with SQL they are quite faster than the normal text file version).

Currently I have two hosts in mind, one of them(Media3.net) offers support for mSQL and MYsql, the other one(Webhosting.com) offers support for MYsql only, so the question is, which one should I choose? (obviously if Links 2.0 won't use SQL then there's no point in the question hehe)

Also, both hosts offers support for MS SQL 6.5 but only on NT accounts, could this be useful in the future for Links 2.0???

Regards,,,,George
