Yes, a second to that. I was doing a clean install of a full stack into a VM the other day with the intent of getting a little more familiar with Postgres, and it must me about 45 minutes to sort out which gem was the right one to use. Went with pg in the end, and it seems to have worked out fine, but your mileage may vary as you are still using Ruby 1.8.4.
Would be cool if someone directly involved with either one of these gems' maintenance could slap together a blog post about which gem to use in which situation and post the link to this list and all the other usual locations. I'm sure I'm we're not the only ones who have this question.
