If you are going to use it for "TV" and watch for sveral hours an evening like many people do, then a really large screen is not practical. Also, a projection screen is not suited, period. It is just too big and the room has to be nearly dark for decent results.
For movies, front projection is fine but you will also want a smaller set for the news, etc.
In general, size will determine which technology to choose as there are price consequences otherwise. All types can have great performance when used to their advantages, so really the screen size and your budget determines what technology you will use.
LCD sets are the ticket for 26" - 32". Then Plasma displays at 42". Beyond that, rear projection LCD or DLP (pick one!) will be the best deal. You can get rear projection sets that sit on a table-top or stand so that you can keep gear or DVDs, etc underneath in sizes from 46" - 63". Again, once you get beyond that range, another format is used and obviously that will be for movies as a 63" diagonal talking head on the 6 o'clock news is just weird. Front projection is great for movies in darkened rooms when you can use an image from 92" - 300".
You should let the room and your seating distance determine the screen size and then the screen size determine the type of system.
