Both Paraview and Visit generally make ugly axes/colorbars/keys/etc. In my opinion they both look fine for presentations and my own viewing, but are not really acceptable for publication-quality. For things run on a reasonably-sized problem, matplotlib (using either h5py to read hdf5, pyvtk to read vtk, or petsc4py to read PETSc's binary format) makes publishable plots.
