I also own the 55" Hitachi plasma and love it. I compared it directly (side-by-side) with the Panasonic 50" and felt the Hitachi picture was better. For the price and size range I think it's very difficult to beat Hitachi.
If I'm not mistaken the Hitachi and Pioneer Elite plasmas are made in the same factory in Japan using virtually identical parts. Having said that, I believe the Pioneer Elite plasmas have the best PQ on the market. They also charge out the ying-yang for it too.
