In general, if you store spatial data typically found in a CAD
environment, the build in spatial features are more than enough.
However the moment you start having to reference the spatial data to a
position on earth, you really cannot use anything else than PostGIS.
So in general, of you have spatial features all starting with a
reference point of (0,0) use the build-in support.
