Neal, go for type 4.
Type 1 is slow and cumbersome. You also lose several meta-data related calls.
Type 2 (native) is fast but require specialized drivers (not portable).
Type 3 is great if you want to develop using several different databases.
Type 4 is fast, runs everywhere and all you need is a JAR and an URL.
