Plasma vs LCD help, which is better?


Getting a new TV.
Right now am torn between a 50" phillips plasma, 50 samsung plasma and a 46" samsung LCD. All about $3000. All are cable ready with digital inputs. I probably won't be using HDMI any time soon. Will the LCD hold up better to a lot of use? Will all of the extras on the phillips just cause more problems?
Thanks for any input.
By the way, prefer to buy local/new in pittsburgh.

Another option is the Loewe Opta Aconda 38" HD CRT TV. This tube beats plasma and LCD by a mile in true black, depth, and definition. It is absolutely 3 dimensional and natural. www.loeweus.com.
I have had one for five years and it has been absolutely reliable with no degradation is picture quality. Only drawback, heavy and deep. But it is very modern in design and looks gorgeous with great curves.
Though my wife is prettier:)
OOPs. I just went on the Loewe site to see whats new and they have ceased sales in the USA, though they are still honoring parts and service. Sorry
