Why not offer the user a choice?

A screen-sized (say, 1024x768) GIF or PNG for quick viewing, and a
page-sized PDF for printing and detail viewing.  Note: the PDF only
makes sense if it's produced directly from your schematics; don't
bother with a PDF that just has a copy of the GIF inside it; the
advantage of PDF is that it's resolution-independent and thus produces
very crisp printouts.

I'd stay with color if there are just a few; the user can always
convert to b&w if they want, and IMHO color - used appropriately
(i.e. sparingly and consistently) - can make a schematic much more
readable.
