I'm not saying that's the best approach but I've been using the "double click for detail" paradigm for more than 15 years, as this was the "default" with 4th Dimension. I'm in the process of porting this in-house application to Cocoa/PostgreSQL and will probably continue using double-clicking to show the details views. It's been used in many applications (Mail, Xcode to name a few) and even Apple's Finder uses this paradigm (double-click to see folder's content) so I'm sure users will get it pretty fast.
