I have a Panasonic Viera Plasma 50 inch and am very happy with it. At the time we bought it plasma sets were less expensive than LCD but I think LCD has gotten more competitive in price now.
Plasma sets have deeper blacks so there is more contrast resulting in a better picture especially if its in a room that has lots of light that glares on the screen.
Plasma sets have a faster 'refresh rate' which is the speed that each individual pixel can change color. This results in a sharper picture when watching shows with a lot of motion such as sports.
Plasma sets are a LOT heavier than LCD.
I think I read that the terchnology of the LCD sets are gaining a lot on plasma so the advantages plasma used to have are not so much now. THe article I was reading was saying plasma technology will eventually become outdated and everything will go to LCD.
The biggest suggestion I would give you is make sure you get a 1080p set instead of 720p or 1080i. You WILL notice and be happier with the higher resolution of 1080p. Especially in a bigger set of 40 inch or higher.
I would not hesitate to buy either plasma or LCD now. It would depend on which one we could get the best deal on at the time. You will be happy either way.
Buy the biggest size you can. When we bought our 50 inch it seemed HUGE. My wife insisted on the big screen, I was not convinced we needed it. Now that we have gotten used to it I am glad we did not go with less.
I did not buy the service plan and am glad we didnt. It was expensive ($500 on a $2000 tv set) and we would only ahve gotten the warrantee extended out to three years from the one year standard warrenty. We have had the set 2 and 1/2 years now and had no problems.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
