I like to do both. Ongoing PITR, daily base backups (by updating an rsync copy), and weekly pg_dumps that in turn go to tape. PITR gives a very recent restore point in the event of server loss. As previously mentioned, the full (custom) backups let you restore individual tables. They're also a lot smaller than base backups + WAL logs. -- "No animals were harmed in the recording of this episode.
