Component HD AV Cable or VGA HD AV Cable

Is there a difference in quality between the two? I have the standard cable which doesn't support HD and I am looking to buy one of these. Which outputs in better quality? http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/719756/-/Product.html http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/719745/-/Product.html

Component cable is better, the VGA cable is usually just used if you want to connect your 360 to a PC monitor

NNNooooooooooooo!!!!!

I can't stress enough how much this depends on your TV's input quality! Case in point. I use the VGA and the picture is infinitely sharper than the component. Also, be aware that the 360 will upscale your DVD's over the VGA, but not the component! Colour is better over component, no doubt, but for quality of picture, the VGA is better! This is not a simple either/or answer!
