feel sorry for us in the uk ! more products are coming through with component inputs and out puts but most have RGB via Scart which is miles better than S video and yes i think s video is miles better than composite but Ernies right you have to know what your looking for but once you see it ,it will bug you for ever RGB vs component well heres a tough one yes component is better on a US dvd via progressive out put to a capable display device but i have not personally seen the difference on a UK DVD RGB vs Component apart from the fact that you can get better cables for component even compared to the best scart leads.
