I have seen cryptography implemented badly (and by badly, I mean that the
cryptography is just as unsecured as if it wasn't encrypted).

The way in which you're asking leads me to believe that you have a LOT to
learn before you can properly implement cryptographic storage. I recommend
you take a step back and consider the fact that you're far better off
doing the research until you know enough to pick between pgcrypto and
pycrypto on your own.
