I would say "it depends".
Plasmas tend to have the ability to have a much darker "black" because of the way they make a picture. LCD's have to have a light behind it, and if its not a high end set this turns everything that is black a shade of gray. Might not be an issue, but if you watch lots of movies, it could be a deal breaker.
Also, Plasmas tend to be much heavier, run hotter, and use more electricity than the same size LCD. Keep that in mind if you wanted to hang the thing on the wall.
One other thing, if you watch a lot of TV that isnt wide screen or high definition, you can get the bars on the side of the screen. When a plasma is brand new, if you leave these bars on your screen for too long, they can burn in. Not good. Same if you watch lots of CNN or a new channel that has a ticker on the bottom. They sell a DVD that you play in the TV for a few days on a loop that "breaks in" the plasma for you so you dont need to worry.
My vote, unless you are a real die-hard quality fan is to get an LCD. There is a company called Vizio that sells lots of sets at Costco that has a really nice one. Its called their XT series, and has the new 120 Hz processing. Consumer reports says its a best buy, and its got a lot of bang for the buck.
