PDF reading workflow

How do you guys read PDFs in BE?
I usually hit CMD+Shift+O just to open my pdf in PDFexpert (or, Skim). Experimenting with BE today, I found out the Full screen reading is pretty beautiful within BE. I am considering to reading directly in BE.
But, i am puzzled about the Notes.
Which of the notes do you often use when reading inside BE, and why?
If I am not mistaken there are about 3 or 4 of them.
a) pdf embedded Notes: these are readable in other pdf readers; embedded in the PDF itself
b) notestream: they look like the broken down streams of the text in the Note field.
c) the Note: this is internal to BE: cannot move this with the pdf. This seems the most convenient for summarizing the article; or to follow the arguments. But, I am a bit worried since it is internal to BE (is reference metadata).
Is there any other strategy use you to improve the reading experience?
It would be great if you guys can share your experience using BE as pdf reader (i didn't use this functionality of Be that much; that is why I am asking).
