So far that one was the worst in terms of cost and time. Here are all the plans with buffers, more records, and results being returned. At this point I have good enough performance with my UNION approach but I'm just trying to learn now. WHY is the union approach the fastest? I would have expected the EXISTS or IN approaches to be faster or at least have the SAME cost? At this point I just want to understand.

hm, how about:
SELECT c.*
FROM contacts c
WHERE exists (
SELECT 1
FROM phone p
WHERE p.addr =? AND p.contact_id=c.id
UNION ALL
SELECT 1 FROM email e
WHERE e.addr = ? AND e.contact_id=c.id
);
