"Should I invest in the newer 1080 sets or is there other technology I should be considering?"

Well, 1080 is resolution and LCD/plasma/DLP are display technologies and probably all of them are currently capable of delivering 1080 resolution if your source is up to providing it.

I think I would always recommend going for as much resolution as you can afford. Resolution capacity is never going to go astray.

As for the other question, the question should really be which will give you the best quality picture in the environment and listening conditions that you're going to use it in. Is it going to be in an area where there is high or low ambient light? Whether you do a lot of viewing in the daytime or mostly at night will affect that. Is the screen going to be in a location where you will be able to see a lot of reflections on the screen surface or not if you have a reflective screen surface? Are there any space constraints on the size of the set that you can fit in?

One of those screen types is definitely capable of delivering a better quality picture than the others in absolute terms, but it may not be the one which delivers the best quality picture in your particular room and viewing circumstances. You need to provide more info if you want to get useful advice.
