You'll get the best quality with DVI->HDMI
But you may encounter other problems, namely overscan (the tv doesn't 
display everything so certain sides are cut by different amounts).

This is fairly easy to solve - It takes about 15-30mins of messing with 
window sizes in something like mplayer, to give you x & y coords and a 
correct window size.
These can be used in mplayer/vlc/mythtv/(xine?) to output a correct size.

Again, didn't have much look on ATI front doing any of this, so would 
recommend nVidia.
