Well, I'd use dired and tail. To give a real recommendation I first  
need some real experience. I've did some remote log file searching  
and similiar things, configuring and serving Apache, and I did not  
run into a situation I would have needed  a pager, using TRAMP with  
SSH or PuTTY. Log rotation is a nice thing. At least, I don't feel  
great when I have to work with GB log files.
