The black levels on plasma are much better than on LCD, this makes for a much better picture overall...however for this reason if you have the TV in a brightly lit room the plasma will tend to look washed out because of the high black levels.....the LCD will be a much better picture in that environment.
Viewing from angles is much better on the plasma, if you are at any angle from the TV with the LCD it will start to wash out, similar to rear projection big screen TVs.
One last thing that I had to consider was elevation, because plasma works off of some kind of gas if you are over around 5,000 feet above sea level you will lose some picture quality.
That said, when I was buying new HD TVs for my two houses I actually bought a Plasma for my house in Ohio and an LCD for my house in NC....the room in Ohio is much bigger and you are viewing from angles...it is also a much darker room so the Plasma was the better choice.
I bought the LCD for the house in NC because the room has a huge picture window and is much brighter, the room is also smaller and finally it is at about 4600 ft elevation, so the LCD was the better choice.
FYI, bought Panasonic in both cases, a little more expensive but from everything I was told and read they are the best.
Hopefully i didn't confuse you more, but there really isn't a right or wrong answer to your question.
