muPDF for sure - supports a lot of PDF features, eats very little RAM.

The other day I installed Okular and so far I like it. So, for now, I will vote for Okular.

Okular
I've used Xpdf, gv, and some others but have settled on Okular for the past few years.

I would vote zathura, but it's not in there. Fell in love immediately after Okular gave me some strange freezes.

Still like Adobe Reader; despite the final Linux version being some years old now, it's still my favourite, since you can open PDFs from Firefox directly into it.

In the browser itself, I like Xodo:-

XODO Webapp
