I have to admit that I haven�t yet tested pdftex so I can�t tell the
differences between pdftex and ps2pdf.
But I woudn�t say that ps2pdf causes big filesizes however if you use gs
V 5.5 or later (you are right there were some problems concerning the
size of the files with earlier versions of gs). Ps2pdf and hyperref
(right?) also provide links and you are allowed to use ps or eps-files.
I remember a similiar discussion a few months ago on this list. IMHO,
never mind which way you prefer I would highly welcome if the developers
let this discussion become obsolete by implementing a PDF-export feature
(:-).
