I probably went to “Quick” on the “Quick” Guide
My default is msqli ?
The first thing you see in the database restoration page is the Connection parameters pane. It is pre-populated with the
connection settings of the site you backed up. If you are restoring to a different site, you must change it. Start with the
database type. It's usually mysql, unless you are using MySQL 5 and are using software which requires the mysqli
(with a trailing “i” in the name) database type, e.g. extensions based on the Nooku Framework. If this sounds like
Greek to you, just leave the default option and move on.

Since J! 1.6 mysqli (with the i) is recommended. The old driver (mysql without an i) is deprecated and will be dropped from future versions of PHP. So, yeah, just leave the default option and move on :)
