It's unlikely that there will be noticeable degradation of the signal when using quality component cables. In fact, a little degradation can sometimes hide compression artifacts at the expense of detail. In most cases, you can't send a 1920x1080 progressive signal through component cables because of HDCP, so the HDMI cable would likely win out in that scenario. You can send an interlaced 1920x1080 signal through component with no problem, and you can sometimes find equipment willing to send 1920x1080 progressive signals through component.

If your TV is 1080P, a component cable will only give you maximum 720p resolution while an HDMI cable will give you the full resolution blu ray has to offer, 1080P.

If your TV is only 720P resolution, then stick with the component cable.

Visually, most people can barely tell the difference between 720P and 1080P resolution. If you go up close you can definitely see it but if you dont care that much you might as well go whichever is cheaper for you.
