Inconsistent Lineweights-- PDF driver issue?

I'll start off by saying that I understand the basics of how AutoCAD manage lineweights. Linework can be set to color by layer or have a different color applied to it, and when you plot, your plot driver looks at your CTB file and maps that color to a lineweight.
I have noticed this odd behavior: lineweights come out different depending on what plot driver I use. It's fairly minor variations, but when you're trying to control lineweight in order to control hierarchy in your drawing, it matters. Because I'm getting different results from different drivers, I'm thinking that the drivers are not producing results that are true to the CTB files... I feel betrayed! I thought I could trust them!
I have used Foxit, Adobe PDF, and whatever driver came with our Konika printer, all with different results.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a different driver I could use that produces results that are true to the CTB file?
