My 2 cents: If you are dedicated to research and your freedom is more important than money above a certain threshold, postdocs are an excellent idea. They enable you to build a track record apart from your dissertation advisor, and also allow you to "re-tool" with a change in focus, or an added area of expertise, if necessary. Working in an industrial research lab can also have this effect---it shouldn't be seen as such a fork in the road.
