Personally I've only used Kubegres (https://www.kubegres.io/ https://www.kubegres.io/), which didn't even make the above list. It's ok for a personal project.
All k8s solutions for postgres take subtly different approaches. It seems that they've all converged on the Operator pattern. The basics are easy: run a database process which persists data to a cloud disk of your choice. The hard parts are how to update, migrate, backup, restore, monitor, failover, replicate, etc. These kubernetes "operators" promise to fulfill the role of a DBA but, just like hiring a DBA, it requires buy-in to their approach.
