I guess Popcon is not aimed to do what you want but it provides quick 
statistics for the amount of users that install/recommends a determined 
package. I mean, I'm afraid you can't ask Popcon "What people is 
recommending as PDF reader and why they say so?"

What I usually do in such cases (when I need feedback to select the best 
application to do somehting) is asking here, in mailing lists and/or 
forums.
