Whenever I click on a .pdf link while browsing it asks me which app to 
use...I don't recall it doing this previously...is there a way to set 
this once and for all?

As someone else suggested, try using the Get Info box to assign an
application to open PDF files. If that doesn't work, it's possible that
your Launch Services database is corrupt; a Google search should turn
up instructions for rebuilding it (TinkerTool, for example).
