I wouldn't recommend against it, but the two big advantages you'll get are speed (here negligible, as pg_connect is compiled C and pretty darn fast) and having a common database abstraction for multiple backends. So unless you plan on connecting to more than just Postgres, I'm not sure how much you're gaining in this instance, but I don't think it's a bad idea in any way and should do everything you need it to do.

I am trying to use PDO for new code, but have not tried it with PostGIS yet. Have you tried PostGIS with PDO and bound parameters and would you recommend this.

You and your team are very inspiring to many NC GIS'ers who are not blessed to work in similarly open and enlightened environment. Way to go Mecklenburg GIS!
