It will be great if MKIV supports pstricks out of the box. There are some very nice pstricks packages that are hard (and time consuming) to replicate.

Either of them is a lot more "pdf-friendly". Unless you still work with MkII and go via dvi->ps->pdf, you need to compile the PSTricks graphic separately into DVI, then PS, then PDF, and include the final graphic into the document. While ConTeXt macros can do that for you, it's still very ugly. Unless you have a very very very strong reason to use PSTricks, you would be better off with other solutions.
