I like to do both. Ongoing PITR, daily base backups (by updating an rsync 
copy), and weekly pg_dumps that in turn go to tape. 

PITR gives a very recent restore point in the event of server loss. As 
previously mentioned, the full (custom) backups let you restore individual 
tables. They're also a lot smaller than base backups + WAL logs.
