Confused... Projector or Plasma???????

I am in the middle of assembling components for a dedicated home theater room. It will have 2 rows of seating. 2nd row I gather would be about 16' from the screen. Don't know whether I should be looking at a projector set up or plasma set up. I would like the screen size to be between 5' ( i have been looking at the new pioneer elite 60") and 7' in width. (5' is probably a little too small at 16' away)I would assume the projector would be the way to go for anything above 60" at the moment(cost concerns). Which set up has the best picture quality? (if you were to compare 60" screens)What's the biggest bang for the buck?

For sitting that far from the screen, projection is your only option unless you want to be squinting to see the action.

Plasma is great for the living room, but if you want a real "theater" experience, you've got to go bigger.

The best quality projection I've seen (by far) is Runco. They are pricey, but worth it.
