Hi Frank, OpenLayers is for sure a good choice to display your route.
The advantage of pgRouting is that you are free in defining what you take as "cost". And you can do shortest path search in combination with other database queries. Other routing approaches often have preprocessed binary formats, which makes them usually faster but less flexible. What works better for you depends on what you want to achieve. I would recommend you to take a look at the pgRouting workshops and the tutorials. And even if you chose Gosmore or something else, the OpenLayers chapters might help you as well.
