Plasma is the more recent technology. I undertstand many set have a problem where the plasma leaks out after about4-5 years. If you're looking for something more reliable, stick with a tested, older technology. You'll get a better price than bleeding edge stuff.
The best part of the new TV's is that my husband's boss bought one, and gave us his old big-screen television if we would haul it away. That is the exact price I wanted to pay for a new television! LOL!
