Simply way to launch a PDF document

[Derek Bump]

I know that a lot of people use the shell() method of launching 
documents, but what about the transcript method:

    launch document "path/to/file.pdf"

Both methods will result in the document being opened with a designated 
program.  Additionally, the launch command allows you to launch web 
sites before the common library (where revGoURL is located) has been loaded.

So is there any advantage of one over the other?  Launch vs. Shell()? 
Launch vs. RevGoURL?
