Percona Server is like MariaDB in that both of them are compatible with MySQL and you could do a plug-and-play replacement. Percona Server is much closer to MySQL (which many think is great), shall I say more focused. MariaDB has more deviation in the code base and also adds more stuff like additional storage engines (which many think is great, especially when you want to play with new features).
The additional storage engine also applies to percona :-)
Ok, fair point, but MariaDB really goes out of its way to have lots of them: PBXT, OQGraph engine, Sphinx, Aria... You won't find these (unless you contract Percona to provide them for you) in Percona Server. These are not that commonly used but more niche. But they are the reason I commonly label MariaDB as "has more stuff".
More features even though they only apply to niche user are in general nothing bad. Some features like microsecond datetime is really something I'm gonna have a look at :-) But I don't really get the point of MariaDB grants 5 year GA support vs. Percona grants only 2 years. I'd guess that for > 90% of all available packages within the Debian project no assured support exists at all?
