pdflatex produces more useful output than putting the Postscript file 
through ps2pdf: It creates an outline navigation bar and allows 
clickable links (both inside the document and to internet addresses) 
for use with Acrobat Reader.

LaTeX documents can be converted to HTML using latex2html.

With a project of your size I'd stay away from Lyx. Use Emacs (or some 
other editor of choice), split the project into sufficently small files 
and use some kind of version control system.
