That would be the decision to make - does your toolkit support (or can be made to support) the type and are you willing to choose a sub-optimal database model because one or more applications happen to do things differently? IMO the daterange datatype is the best type you can choose for the model; now you have to figure out and decide where any tradeoffs are and if they are worth it given your specific circumstances.
