native api or odbc?
I use odbc in a windows environment.
No complaints, can do inserts, select, updates, joins, execute stored
procedures
with little fuss...more than fast enough for my purposes.
There are some issues with 32/64 bit odbc depending on your relative
OS..as far as installing the correct odbc version. To be expected
Otherwise I couldn't be happier. For what it's worth.

ODBC adds a whole layer of obfuscation which, IMHO, if you know you're
only dealing with PostgreSQL, is infuriating.
I'd rather program the native API, its just much cleaner and simpler,
unless you're using a programming framework that has native ODBC support
built in.

If you're coding at the C level, I would definitely choose libpq
unless you were worried about cross database portability. libpq is a
bit clunky but easy to code against. libpq is also easier to
configure and port than odbc.
