DOI is the correct thing to link to because the author or publisher has chosen this as their canonical URL for the object. The DOI could and sometimes does point to the pdf, it's just conventional to point to an html version of the paper. It would make a lot of sense to me to standardize a field in the DOI metadata containing the PDF URL. (source: I manage the DataCite membership of a large organization)
