Hi Patrick,
In terms of speed and MapServer, considering you have large vector data
and require good indexing, I always use and recommend PostGIS.
(of course if you asked this on the MapServer-users list you would get a
whole lot of different opinions)
But that is my initial recommendation, for your stated needs.

Hi all,
I've been trying to figure out a good format to store some very large
vector data in. Basically, its a bunch of really dense polygons
describing the cutlines that compose a mosaic. We've had reasonable
success using zipped shapefiles, but on the larger guys we're exceeding
the 2GB file size, so a more modern alternative is desired.
FileGBD worked alright but having to build GDAL with the ESRI driver to
write them is not desirable. We also tried a GeoPackage, but it seemed
a little slow to read in QGIS.
The dream would be a nicely compressed format that can be spatially
indexed so that we can serve them up efficiently with mapserver. Any
recommendations are greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Patrick
