I use Jade and the DSSSL Modular style sheets.  Works pretty well for HTML 
and RTF, although most of the documents I write are shorter than what you 
describe.

I don't routinely produce PDF from SGML; I've made a couple of desultory 
attempts to get PDFJadeTeX running, and not had much success.  But PDF from 
RTF via Adobe Exchange works OK if you're not too concerned about making it 
"rich" (hyperlinks etc).
