    I think it all depends on how much you can buy either screen for. If you only spend 100 for a composit screen then it might tie you over for a while until you figure out you might want more or need more.

    I think a lot of us guy's spent 200+ on a screen and find it hard to justify a new screen purchase because of how much already invested, at least while there are other parts to be purchased.

    If, on the other hand you have the money to invest in a vga screen then you should probably start with it.

    the vga screen is totally worth the high (eg: roughly double) price tag. . .and the touchscreen is pretty cool too
