It depends on your needs.

If you want to be able to use the slave postgresql instance (reporting,
non replicated name spaces, materialized views etc...) Slony or Mammoth
Replicator.

If you want to also replicate users/groups, grant and revoke, Mammoth
Replicator.

If you just want a hot backup... DRBD.
