I switch between them on my dell 2405. The VGA outputting in 1330x768 or whatever does remove a lot more jaggies compared to component but the colours aren't quite right. You basicly trade one advantage for the other. I'm currently using component though because you can use it with the pic in pic and pic by pic functions of the monitor where as with the VGA you can't (presuming your PC is plugged in via dvi).
Also some backwards compatible xbox games will not run over the VGA cable. For me there's no clear winner.

ohh, if you use your 360 for playing dvds a fair bit then yeah, VGA for the win as it upscales or uses some kinda voodoo to make the movies look nicer.
