a question of philosophy ...
- you can use pdflatex, which has some advantages, e.g. breaking links
- you can save the images in an easy way as eps files, which
   is important when your publisher want them as single pdf.
- it is also very easy to extract all math stuff as eps,
   which is important for web pages
