Based on your viewing distance and screen size, it appears 720p is good enough. In fact, in my personal experience the improvement in resolution of 720p source (DirectTV) vs. 1080p source (Blu-ray, HD-DVD) projected at 108" and viewed at 15 feet is noticeable, but only marginally worth the extra expense. (Disclaimer: I only have 20/15 vision.)
