The only advantage that a VGA output might provide is if you need the ability to feed analog video from the DVD player to a computer monitor (where a VGA input is typically found).

On a side note, Panasonic's plasmas have VGA inputs that can be configured to accept analog component video from a source (ie, a DVD player or an STB/satellite receiver). This is done with a component-to-VGA cable: three cables plug into the source's component outputs and end up in a VGA connector which plugs into the plasma's VGA input.
