Personally I would prefer a unique identifier. I guess the best way of
illustrating my intuition would be: "Imagine loading all this data into a
relational database, what would you need to full normalize it?".

Parsing log files programmatically is much easier if you have unique
identifiers instead of having to rely on the relative relationships of entries
in the log.

Not a big deal though, since I doubt anyone's actually parsing postgres logs.
Hm, brings up an interesting idea though, I wonder if it would be useful to
log directly into postgres tables.
