Oppo 981, Cambridge Audio dvd89 or Denon 1930

I am going to buy a new dvd player and I'm undecided between the Oppo 981the Cambridge Audio DVD89 or the Denon 1930.

I have a Hitachi 46 inch CRT RP high def ready tv. Since this is not a pixel type tv, should I use the componet video or HDMI/DVI input to the tv (this would rule out the Oppo).

The CA and Oppo share most of the same internals as the 970HD FWIW. Is audio or video a bigger priority? I would say choose the correct player and worry about connection type second, since you have both. I didn't notice a difference between component and HDMI on my CRT.
