My answer would be to use the most appropriate mode for the material being viewed or maybe just whatever you think is the best for YOU.

Is yours the CRT or LCD Sony? You can get burn-in with the CRT if you watch a lot of SD TV in the "normal" mode (black bars on either side). The LCD does not have this problem.
