Most suitable psycopg3 installation method for a production Django website with PostgreSQL

I'm running a production website using Django with a PostgreSQL database. The official psycopg3 documentation (https://www.psycopg.org/psycopg3/docs/basic/install.html) describes three different installation methods:

Binary installation Source installation C extension-only installation

Which of these installation methods would be most performant and suitable for a production environment? Are there any specific considerations or trade-offs I should be aware of when choosing between these options for a Django project in production?

I'm particularly interested in:

Performance implications Stability and reliability Ease of maintenance and updates Any potential compatibility issues with Django

pip install psycopg

pip install psycopg-binary

I think this might help as it has with me.
