Ciao Stephen, I will tell you what is my take on this. First discriminant, you want to to show the data at all scales or just at the small scales ? Second discriminant, how much data are we talking about? Order of terabytes or order of (tenth of) gigabytes?
Generally speaking I tend to avoid using a pyramid (files base or db based) and thend to prefere a mosaic; anyway it would be great a bit more about your use case.
