Using proprietary fonts

Using proprietary fonts

I'm considering purchasing a font from Hoefler & Frere-Jones for my thesis (the font is called Requiem).
Does anybody have any experience with H&FJ fonts? In particular:
Are there any issues that I should expect to encounter? How did you resolve them?
I'm assuming that the font I'm looking at doesn't have all the characters I use, including Greek and math characters. Can LaTeX default to Computer Modern whenever the a character is not found in Requiem? Would that look good?
Are certain flavours of LaTeX better for this task? I currently use pdfLaTeX, but would I get better results with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX?
