It's true that PostGIS is server side, so that's not really an issue. As far as ODBC is concerned I'm just working from the assumption that a native link is generally preferable. If anyone tells me that the psql ODBC link has the same features/performance that's fine with me.....? :)

Why does Postgres need to be 64bit, couldn't you go through the windows ODBC layer if you want 64 bit client support? Also, isn't PostGIS just server side and hence you shouldn't have to worry about it client side?
