Yes, timestamptz is the one you want 100% of the time. But there are a ton of people who don't realize it doesn't work the way they think it does. Lots of people think it stores the timezone, and it is really important to understand that is not the case when designing your app. Postgresql is actually completely lacking in the ability to store and validate timezones, as well as converting values to other timezones in useful ways. It is quite possibly the biggest weak spot postgresql has.
