PGAdmin is among the best tools to manage Postgres.
https://www.pgadmin.org/
As far as a front-end program, perl can be used.
As well as a number of other languages ranging from C, C++, Java, PHP.
Almost all languages have a "module" to interact with Postgres databases.
The best one is IMHO the one you know the best.
P.S.
The differences between a local Unix socket and a TCP one are rather
subtle from your point of view.
