The only thing I can suggest is to take performance into account. Some time 
ago I made some tests using a Numeric type equivalent to PostgreSQL's NUMERIC 
but in Python (sorry I can't remember the package I used for that). It was 
much slower than float. I don't think it's going to be an issue in OpenERP, 
but it might be worth keeping it in mind.
