Wow, that page really goes out of its way to make sure you don't want to use PostGIS! All those notes and caveats in the PostGIS boxes!
"Beginning with ArcGIS 10.1, all databases used with ArcGIS must be 64-bit" WHAT?!?!? Client apps, by and large, don't give a damn about what platform the database is running on. PgSQL in particular speaks client/server in a protocol that doesn't care. The only thing about PgSQL that would *have* to match the architecture of ArcGIS is the client library (libpq.dll) and ESRI will have built and bundled that into ArcGIS themselves using the proper architecture. So, ignore all the items that say you can't do Windows because there's no 64 bit build available: it'll work fine. P.
