i can't say "this one is better" but i can say that psycopg is very
solid and almost bug-free. it is also quite fast (it was designed for
speed) but i never tried a benchmark, mainly because i think benchmarks
should be done on real-world cases. note that i am its main author,
maybe you want to wait for others' module authors to speak on this list
before going for it.. :)

they all implement the dbapi-2.0 to some extent, so you should be fine
by just reading the PEP. psycopg has a lot of example code in
doc/examples/ and support some nice dbapi-2.0 extensions like connection
pooling, user-defined typecasters (to conver postgres data ti python
objects), etc.

hope this helps,
federico
