I agree with you that this is a rational decision. For example, I prefer
Preview, but this should not be forced on other users, and I myself may
change my mind some day.

Where is this information? May be you have a better solution than mine.
I myself have used the previous solution that I already posted: I added
up an external AUCTeX Command for viewing dvi files (by a compound command
created with sh script which converts the dvi into pdf and then opens the
pdf in Preview). By doing so, AUCTeX could not anymore, by default, open
Preview for pdf files created with pdflatex. So, I just added this by
Customize AUCTeX, I made by INS "open -a Preview" the default View for
files with pdf ("^pdf$") extension.
How did you add PDFView?
