I have researched loads and cannot find a definitive answer..
What is the optimum screen choice for playing the CAVE ports on the 360?. And with which lead?. This whole question arose from playing Guwange on an og Xbox emulator on a tated 29" roTATED crt tv and it was the most beautiful game I had seen but it almost hurts my eyes on my 360/lcd set up.
Would games like pink sweets look better through an AV cable not hdmi lead?. I am currently looking for a Sony wega to test all this myself but would like to hear opinions. Some games I am very happy with such as mushihimesama HD. That looks amazing but some game I feel are blurry ( pink sweets) or jagged (guwange).

Re: Screen choice for CAVE Ports
For Xbox Cave ports, I like my plasma TV. Feels like ports were made to utilize the 16:9 format. I have also tried them on my NEC and BVM monitors but didnt like the results all that much. My main gripe on some of the games was that I couldn't get it to cover the entire screen.

Re: Screen choice for CAVE Ports
There's no definitive answer 
... Primarily it comes down to what you can get your hands on and at what price. What region are you from for example? Easy-ish (though getting harder) for euro people to pic up scart rgb crts for example...
Likely if you loved 15khz (regular tv or arcade) crt you should look into 360>640x480p via vga > extron emotia > bnc/phono rgb>[scart if needed - i.e. if not a studio monitor with rgb bnc inputs] > crt
If you have a trisync or 31khz pc crt monitor you could skip the emotia and add an optional scalineline generator if you want scanlines:
360>640x480p via vga [>slg3000]>pc crt
(In both cases you should get a 360 vga cable with an audio L/R out or get the audio from an optical out and plug into a receiver/amp).
You can get 360>scart/component>crt interlaced but the flickering looks crap/hurts imho, but there are some people who just don't see the flickering like I do.
I love plasma colours, but again I see how plasma posts images and notice flicks of green/image flickers especially with high contrast images. Plus I'm pretty sure no one makes plasma tvs anymore so you have to buy used.
New screens change a lot. TV or pc monitor basically get the size you want, with low input lag (different to pixel response timings), and start investigating what scaling solution you want to invest into (check out fudoh's webpage: http://www.hazard-city.de/ especially this section http://retrogaming.hazard-city.de/).
