I would go component since you don't have any device that natively uses HDMI. Going Component-to-HDMI will only use up one HDMI input and it still won't get you audio because Component doesn't carry audio and the quality won't be any better. Wait until you have a device with HDMI, like a new DVD player, then use HDMI. Get a BR DVD player if you want to see how good the image can get.
