In my opinion there is no discussion: the default setting should be
to invoke "open" on the file. The user then needs to configure his
system to work as he intends, eg. to associate PDFView permanently
with PDF files (as I have done) and do something similar with dvi
files. This is a default setting for an application - of course it
should use default settings for that file from the OS. Anything else
assumes quite a bit on how peoples systems are set up.
While I prefer PDFView for pdf files I do not think it is reasonable
to enforce that on a user via a default setting.
There could be however, a question on the webpage on how to configure
AUCTeX with a link to PDFView and similar (where I have helped
putting up some (currently incomplete) solutions for Carbon Emacs.
