DD is NOT on its way out; where did you get this? What do you mean by "you can get buywith an older model DD if HT separation is not important to you"? Separation? Between what, channels? Are you confusing DD with Dolby Surround? DDS? You mean DTS? Or DD? VHS does not support DTS or DD, so that's irrelevant.
Sorry to pick, but this is just wrong. Some DTS soundtracks offer a better or equal performance as reported, but normally NOT night and day differences. And on lower-end systems, I'm sure the difference are barely noticeable.
To answer the question, having DTS in a receiver today is no more costly than DD only (if they still make them). So, assuming he will be using DVD, I agree, might as well get DTS now just so the option is available. But anyone can surely get by with DD, as it is not on its way out.
