PDF.
There are couple of problems with HTML--first, no HTML viewer support
vector graphics (such as EPS) as far as I know, and generally bitmaps
are just awful. My eyes start to ache if I try to read some HTML
document where math is in ugly bitmaps (althought I think that
some versions of latex2html can generate antialiased bitmaps which
is much better but still awful). Secondly, HTML tends to be
(althought it isn't necessary) splitted in hundreds of small files,
from which some thing is extremely hard to find. Not to mention
the fact that very rare browsers support antialiased text while
almost all PDF readers do.
PS is almost as good as PDF, but it doesn't have hyperlinks
(at least not with gv) and you can't do a text search very easily.
