Several plasma brands are in their 9th generation and burn-in is all but a thing of the past. You still have to be careful but it's not like watching CNN for 8 hours straight is going to cause issues.

One advantage of LCD is that you can find 1080p capable panels in smaller sizes than you can the plasma, specificially 40-45". Plasma manufacturers will probably crack that nut next year though. Sharp's Aquos series is the only LCD I'd consider here in terms of picture quality.

DLP are cheap in large sizes but that's because they use tricks to exploit limits in the average person's vision but a lot of people are sensitive enough to notice.

Plasma certainly has the better overall picture quality. For what it is worth I recently went for a 42" Panasonic plasma and couldn't be more happy with it.
