Well, it kind of depends on what you want to do. Different languages
are good for different things. If you want pattern matching you might
want pl/perl. For simple SQL stuff, pl/sql has the advantage that it
can be inlined. pl/pgsql looks similar to oracles offering, some people
like that.
The languages are all fast enough that you should really consider
maintainability, readabilty and coding experience before speed...
Have a nice day,
