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.

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

I prefer the PQ of plasma over LCD. For a tad more I went with a 55" Hitachi, which I thought was better than Panasonic, Samsung, Philips etc. The only plasma I saw that had a higher PQ was the Pioneer. However, it wasn't worth the extra dough given that I was getting approximately 95% of the Pioneer's PQ.

Go on over to avsforum.com and follow the new NEC thread. a quick search would be '50XR4' Pioneer and NEC have joined forces but the NEC still has the better processor and zoom feature which can be used to get rid of those silly logos.
