Are there good reasons to use pgjdbc over pgjdbc-ng then?

Maturity, support for older versions (-ng just punts on support for anything except new releases) and older JDBC specs, completeness of support for some extensions. TBH I haven't done a ton with -ng yet.

I'd like to turn this question around. Are there good reasons to use -ng over pgjdbc ?

As to your question, you may be interested to know that pgjdbc is more performant than ng.

That's good to know, but unfortunately pgjdbc is unusable for us until
https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/issues/488 is fixed.

Also, as I mentioned in the ticket, I can't imagine RETURNING * being performant if, for example, I INSERT a large chunk of data like an image data or an uploaded file.
