I know they were fairly tolerant by ancient standards but they prefered oligarchies or monarchies as they were easier deal with as the number people that neded to bullied or bought off was lower.

I don't think there were any other democratic cities around at the time, so we don't really know how the Persians would have dealt with them. Don't see why they would have treated with them any differently as long as the tribute came in though.
