Why not both? There is no reason to believe that HD-DVD won't provide just as worthwhile performance; some of us who own HD players are quite satisfied with their performance and most of the titles being released. If you are really serious about wanting this format war to end, then what you SHOULD be supporting is a dual-format player that is both inexpensive and performs equally well with both.
While I may seem to be a cheerleader for HD, I'm really not; I just want to see fair competition and honest opinions based on what folks are getting out of both (good & bad). Both formats should be given a fair shot now that they're out there; Joe Public will eventually gravitate toward one or the other or both (as in the dual format type of player I mentioned above).
OTOH, if I were going to make an off the cuff prediction (which is subjective and no more divinely inspired than anyone else's), it would probably be that the first format selling players for under $100 will be the eventual victor, but ...! Oh! (heh, heh) I see, that has already happened. ;0)
