Martin, While I am not one of the developers for or a maintainer for Xubuntu, I offer you my perspective as a user. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, evince blends better with the GTK look and feel of XFCE, more so than xpdf, which has an older looking basic X look and feel.
Honestly, having just now tried to open a 14+MB PDF file in both, xpdf is much faster. However, evince feels more natural and a part of the environment.
