For my 2 cents I think that the version I submitted recently is better
for PostgreSQL >= 9.5:

https://github.com/pgaudit/pgaudit

For this version I started with 2ndQuadrant's excellent work then spent
months refactoring, testing and adding additional configuration options.
In addition a number of reviewers found issues which were fixed and in
general it went through a trial by fire. This version includes more
comprehensive documentation and extensive regression tests.

However, the original 2ndQuadrant version will happily work with
PostgreSQL 9.3 or 9.4:

https://github.com/2ndQuadrant/pgaudit

This sort of confusion is one of the main reasons I pursued inclusion in
core.
