I strongly recommends xfig.  And you can export for several formats that can
be included in LaTeX, including PostScript.  I suggest eepic, however, since
you can use LaTeX (mathemathical) labels in your picture. 

from man fi2dev:

       -L     Set the output graphics language.  Valid  languages
              are box, epic, eepic, eepicemu, ibmgl, latex, null,
              pic, pictex, ps, pstex, pstex_t, textyl, mf  (META­
              FONT) and tpic.
