Well last summer when I was trying to figure out which to buy I eventually ruled out plasma because of the burn-in issue. They also just seemed like they would die sooner than an lcd, but I'm not sure why I had that feeling. Now this year we have seen most of the best plasma manufacturers leave the business all together. This doesn't bode well with plasma quality. I recently read an article that said plasma was dead, and it very well could be because no big name companies are manufacturing them anymore.
I would recommend going with an LCD based off of past experiences. I personally went with a 42" 1080p Sharp Aquos and have loved it. You can now pick up a 44-48" 1080p for a similar price that I paid - $1300.
