PC to LCD - Which input. DVI - HDMI

[wrangler]

Got a new monitor coming. It abounds with inputs.

Given the choice, which one would you use?

I realize it can matter which monitor we're talking about but in general.

DVI
HDMI
Component

This is for a PC only. There will be no XBox, PS3 or Blue Ray to hook up. It will always and only have a PC hooked up to it.

HDMI should work no matter what resolution you choose. Keep in mind however there is no retention mechanism on it, so it can (and will ) slip out. DVI is more reliable, its only caveat is that at resolutions above 1990x1200 you will need a DVI-D (double) cable. There is no discernible visual quality between them, but if you are feeding this to a HDTV instead of a monitor (i.e. need audio) the HDMI will serve you better with digital sound accompanying the video.

Component is not a good choice. It is limited to 720p / 1080i resolutions. Both DVI and HDMI will trump it.

Component can do 1080p as evidenced by my 360 + Bravia. However, DVI is the better option in this case.
