What little I know:
Plasma: better blacks, faster refresh rate
LCD: lighter and consumes less power
Best VFM Plasmas: Hitachi
Best VFM LCD: Samsung Mosel Blaque (the others like Rtech said are not acceptable video quality)
Best Plasma: Pioneer
Best LCD in India: Sony (the full HD models)

Warning: I am no TV expert but am told that the viewing angle and life of both (LCD and Plasma) are so good that it does not warrant being considered.

My Story.
When I was lookng at a TV my choice was between a 50" Plasma and a 46" LCD. They both cost about 2-2.5L. I chose LCD only because it could be hung on a flimsy wall as it was half the weight of a Plasma. Sony's LCD cost 2.65 + 15K for wall hanging, Samsung Mosel cost 2.10 and the dealer threw in wall hanging and a DVD player. Besides I am not a TV watcher so really I did not split hairs over this.

Wife wanted TV. I had a 2L budget for this. End of story. Took me 10 min. to decide. Samsung installed it in 30 mins.
