Hi,

Though pg_dump is a better option, but as your database size very large it
requires more downtime which results performance of pg_dump slow. Slony
replication is the best option for performing large database upgrades which
results in less downtime as you are moving out of Windows to Linux.

Hope this will solve your issue.
