How much are you doing in PostGIS and how much in Arc?
Are you familiar with all the nifty functions in PostGIS, like Buffer() 
and Simplify() and sooo many more?

You could even make a simplified "view" directly off of the original data 
like:

CREATE VIEW roads_simple as (
SELECT Simplify(<geometry>), roadid 
FROM roads
);

Of course, if your dataset is huge this isn't the best approach - but I 
just love the fact that you can do it!
