On my system I have _three_ different commands for doing docbook -> pdf:
docbook2pdf, xmlto, and dblatex.

I prepared output from all three and posted them to
http://people.freedesktop.org/~ewalsh/docbook.html

I personally think the dblatex output looks the nicest, and the dblatex
project seems to be quite active.  However dblatex won't generate
man/info pages.  The docbook2pdf output is next best.  I would stick
with docbook2xxx for now, I guess.
