You didn't mention which version of Oracle you were using. We recently upgraded to 9.2.0.2 on Linux, which specifically had some updates to the INSO filter. We find that indexing PDFs using the new filter provides marginally better results.

We primarily perform gists in our application, and the fact that there is less garbage in them indicates to us that the INSO filter is doing a better job. We haven't tried highlighting yet though.
