This is not something that can be answered without knowing the situation. They all have pros and cons and the answer will vary depending on who and where the TV will be located.

1. Is budget a factor? If so, how much for what size?
2. What do you use the TV for? What do you watch?
3. How close/far do you sit to the screen?
4. Is there windows anywhere facing the TV location?
5. Do you want a TV you don't mind replacing a bulb for or do you want something maintenance free?
6. Do you want or ever want to be able to hang it on a wall?

That should start it...
biggest tv for money dlp
if playing video games you want dlp. plasma has chance for burn in most tvs have a white out feature that corrects most burn in bt its not a guarentee.
if you sit off to the side of the tv you want lcd or plasma
if there are windows you want lcd or dlp. plasmas have a glossy screen shield
dlp you need to replace bulb apx 5k to 8k viewing hours. about 2.5 to 3.5 yrs
lcd can get dead pixels.
dlp can never be hung on the wall. lcd and plasma can.

now in my personal experience i got a lg 47inch 1080p. and love it.i can hang it if i want, bt i use a stand. great picture.and it was resonably priced since i get it at cost. i work at Best Buy,
