Some of the estimates that pg made in the plans you showed was way off. I
assume you have run VACUUM ANALYZE recently? If that does not help maybe
you need to increaste the statistics gathering on some columns so that pg
makes better estimates. With the wrong statistics it's not strange that pg
chooses bad plans.
