Having worked on Web Analytics for a few projects where the above choices
are available, I've seen that the most popular option is to receive the PDF
by email.

I think the ability to receive receipts etc in your inbox is a good option;
it avoids the hassle of holding a paper copy, or the fear of losing a
one-off pdf which you downloaded to your desktop.
(Also, it's nice when you're working off a computer you don't own. It saves
you emailing the file to yourself or storing it  on a USB key)

I realise it doesn't work in all cases, but it's worth considering when
feasible.
