Component = slightly better colour levels
VGA = sharper

in VGA settings you simply set it to the resolutions 720p or 1080i relate to, for example 720p = 1280x720

Likewise! Can't talk for the VGA cable, but earlier today I saw a 360 on a conventional CRT and holy crap did the PQ look bad. Although, thankfully, my firiends have their new 42" Panny plasma still sitting in it's box awaiting the stand

I use the Component but also have the VGA but I've never tried it yet - VGA can give a higher res than Component can - and if you're planning on using the 360 as your main dvd player then only VGA is capable of upscaling.
