Your choice, though the factors I would consider would be:
1) The process you use to load the CSV files into Postgres and whether
that is faster then loading the data from the dump file?
2) Loading from the CSV files directly would be month by month steps
versus loading from the dump file which would be cumulative to the last
backup.
Also, what format are the image files in and are they part of the CSV
files or separate?
