Component out
wiggy:
I've got no experience with those, so I can't help ya there :(
It does seem that the newer the TV, the worse classic systems look on them. Plus, it's hard to know which TVs are the most capable of properly displaying the images from old systems. I know my Samsung LCD absolutely sucks when I hook up the SNES. I get the now well documented bar of noise through the screen that seems to plague Samsung screens, and the picture is far from crisp on top of that. On the other hand, my Sony DLP does an absolutely amazing job of handling the signal from the older stuff plus it has a ton of inputs, unlike the really new TVs. 2 S-vid, 2 component, 2 RCAs on top of the 2 S-vid, DVI, 2 coax in and coax out, RCA out.
What kind of picture are you getting with composite?

very blurry and pixelated, now that i have the component cable for the ps2 i can really notice the difference.

Hmm, if it's that bad with composite, then S-vid may not make a significant difference. Even so, those S-Vid cables are really, really cheap. May as well give it a go before contemplating purchasing the pricey component cable.

i wont pay that much for a cable its simply overpriced.
i`ll stick with s video + scaler in the amazon reviews people said it works just fine with older consoles usin composite, so i think that with s video and gamecube it would be better.

this cable is the best i can find right? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000092WZ2/sr=1-1/qid=1347678092/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1347678092&seller=&sr=1-1
and this http://www.amazon.com/Composite-S-video-Audio-HDMI-Converter/dp/B003NS0UUQ/ref=pd_cp_e_0
i`m almost sure it will improve my Nintendo consoles, wish me luck i think i`m gonna try this out
