It's mostly a matter of taste, I think. Pick something and be sure to use it religiously.
The only thing I can think of that might affect this decision is that MySQL databases and (with ISAM tables) tablenames map to file- and directory-names on the filesystem. Under a non-case-sensitive filesystem, like any of Microsoft's, depending on capitalization to keep programmers on the straight and narrow won't work.
