The PB360 is outdated, and it can't compete with current models which offer both a better screen and better software. The strong community behind the PB360 is mainly because of its size and concept (built in plastic cover that protects the screen etc.). I bought the PB360 for this reason alone. It's really only suitable for text only, it can't handle graphs / images particularly well. Also, the PB360 is not cheap; it's in the same price range as many other entry level readers, at least in Germany. None of them are suited for your use case.
Pick a reader with a larger screen and/or higher resolution. Maybe the Iriver HD could do, otherwise the large Kindle or Sony or whoever else makes readers with more PDF and graphs in mind.
If you want to make sure before you buy, maybe you could upload a sample PDF that represents your needs and ask device owners if they'd be willing to load them on their device and make a couple of pictures.
Personally I might go for an LCD screen / tablet if I had to deal with PDFs; those devices aren't suited for PDF either but you have a wider choice of reader software and smooth touch scroll/pinch zoom is worth a lot when something does not quite fit on the display. In many ways my 4" Smartphone is better at handling PDFs than the 5" PB360, although I really prefer to do PDFs on my desktop PC.
