Besides the progressive scan versus interlaced debate, does anyone know if there's much of a difference between S-Video and Component? I currently use S-Video for all my hookups since that's the best my receiver can accept/output and don't want to start rewiring all my game systems if it's not really worth it.

If you have an HDTV, Component is significantly better than S-Video.  S-Video does not support high definition signals.  If you have a Wii and an HDTV, Component is still better, because it supports progressive scan at 480p (S-Video does not).  However, if you have an SDTV, there is little to no difference between S-Video and Component (but still a very noticeable difference between Composite and S-Video).
