I do not know about the *quality* of the exported image files of QGIS and 
ArcGIS. I fear that it might be not as good as what would be needed when you 
want to give it to a professional. You might also have problems regarding the 
scale of the map. Therefore, I would expect that an export format like ps 
would be better. And do not forget svg. This would make it possible to make 
some edits afterwards. Maybe someone else could give some input on 
a) planned features of gvSIG regarding this issue
b) features of other GIS software tools (like ArcGIS)

Best,
Wolfgang
