The latest problem is inherent in the format and even affects Foxit reader, so it's not just a vulnerability in the reader software itself.
I must say I disagree about PDF being a good idea for anything you're not intending to print out onto paper of exactly the same size the author uses. The most annoying thing about it is the way that a lot of web sites assume that Adobe's reader is the only one, and attempt to launch that by name, instead of Foxit or whatever you use via the registry linkage. And a lot of those things would have been more conveniently displayed as HTML anyway.
But apart from those issues, I'd recommend Foxit. Launches much faster, and normally less to worry about.
