short answer: no lag at all.
I have a Panasonic Viera 50" HD plasma, it's excellent for gaming.
Plasma is good for: movies (especially with dark scenes or deep black levels), watching sports (no lag or image distortion) and the newest batch or 1080p's are excellent for gaming, contrary to popular belief.
LCD is good for the reasonable price, gaming or for pc output, and the good ones do a better job for viewing standard def channels. It also consumes less energy than a big plasma.
It comes down to budget and personal pref.

I prefer the richer tones and overall high quality of my plasma. Btw I have both the 360 (on component) and ps3 (hdmi) and my high def channels are through hdmi. I can say that I prefer HDMI by a long shot. I've got a friend who has a 46" LCD through component with a 360 (and HD channels) and it does a better job outputting to component but we both agree that my HDMI output is far superior. Just an extra little tidbit for you.
