tradindexed, which should be able to handle that traffic volume just fine
and which is the most heavily tested of the overview methods and has the
best recovery tools at present.

It's faster than tradindexed, but isn't as widely used.  BerkeleyDB also
likes changing their database format with every release, which makes it a
bit more annoying.
