IMHO, HDMI does not make a better looking picture. I know one person who's professional installation service even recommends component over HDMI.

HDMI is required for upconverting though because of copy protect stuff, thats the only thing I use it for, and the $20 cable works perfect for that. If you have a need for it, then that settles it I guess.
