Default Connecting PC to Plasma TV

Which is the best method to connect the pc to the plasma tv panel?

I can connect via S-Video, VGA, DVI or via YPbPr !
At the moment i use the DVI connector.

In the Radeon X700 guide i have seen "Connection to HDTV" !
View computer output directly on your High Definition Television.

In this part they uses a YPbPR connector.

Is YPbPr better then DVI?

Whats the difference beetween S-Video and VGA/DVI?

YPbPr(component)/S_Video is analogue
HDMI/VGA/DVI is digital

On my TV the YPbPr provides a little more color saturation, whereas the HDMI is slightly sharper - depends which you prefer...
