thx for the advice of the games to get... i really needed that list.
You probably picked the best 3 on the system, in my opinion. Make sure to tell us what you thought.

Do most of these PS2 shmups support VGA?

The ps2 does not support vga at all.

The ps2 does however support 480p through component video but no shmups on the system (that I know of) actually use this function of the system.
This industry has become 2 dimensional as it transcended into a 3D world.

Just get an xrgb 2 or 2+ and a 21 pins rgb cable. It's easier said than done though.
