Component or VGA cable with my 360 and LCD?

I'm picking up a 360 today and attaching it to my 21" Widescreen HD LCD Gateway monitor. Is my picture going to be better using the component inputs on the monitor or by buying the VGA cable and hooking it up that way? The monitor in question is this one.

Thanks!

    VGA. I asked this when I was deciding between VGA and component, and people told me they look the same, but you can upscale DVDs via vga.

    less important than picture quality


    component can't do HDDVD past 1080i, and regular DVD past 480p

    VGA can do both at 1080p (and all other resolutions)

    The gateway monitors don't like component cables. I have my 22inch hooked up to my 360 via VGA for a fantastic picture.

    I cant comment on the monitor, but VGA has made such a difference for my games and movies over component.
