How will you be backing it up? pg_dump never dumped large objects.
IMO, if you need a specialized backup script, plus a non-standard interface
for writing into them and reading from them, and they are not deleted when
you drop the row referring to them, then you may as well use files, and
store only the path in Postgres for easy lookup.
