Hi Dana, I've used PostGIS as a backend for my Google mashups<http://www.geocontact.org>and it work pretty well. But, at the time, I didn't knew the existence of OpenLayers so I did a lot of programming to display the point (from PostGIS) as GMarkers (in Google Map API). If I add to do it again, I would definitely consider OpenLayers to do the job. OpenLayers will facilate the integration of data from many source (PostGIS, Google, WMS, etc...) et give you a lot of cool functinality in bonus.
