1. Firebird is better (more powerfull), 2. MySQL is not free (look its
license) - I think it is important for you.

Firebird is based on Interbase 6.0 OpenSource but after that it is another
branch than Interbase. For components, search on http://www.ibphoenix.com/
(for example,
http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&page=ibp_dev_comps) - there is
list of components for Delphi/BCB. Not sure about components for BCB 3.
