An EPS figures are very well with gv, but can be compiled only with
latex through ps2pdf or dvipdfm if you want to have a pdf files (not
pdflatex).

yes, do you open just a figure (not with pdf resulted from pdflatex?)

In my experience the raster images in pdf format are very bad if it was
compiled with pdflatex. You can use jpeg or png format for this raster
image if you stick to use pdflatex. My experience summary are (for
pdflatex):
vector images --> pdf (from epstopdf)
raster images --> jpeg or png (you can make with gimp or imageMagick)
do not convert this raster to pdf...

I have no experience to include a pdf document... maybe you can use
pdfpages package for this purposes. Sorry.
