I personally like acroread[0] and gv (not at all ggv BTW), in that
order. I have not tried xpdf in quite a while (ever since i found
gv and/or acroread to be much better when the last time i tried
xpdf).
[0] Acroread 5.10 currently; am not going to install version 7
anytime soon due to onerous dependencies.
