I know the dreamcast has vga output, but my hdtv only has component yuv input.
I could build a circuit to convert the vga to component, but is it worth it in terms of picture quality? Or should I just use svideo?

Progresive DC output is worth it in my opinion...but only if you have a big HDTV. If its 25" or less don't bother and go s-video. VGA to Component transcoders run around $40 if you wanted to buy and not build.

It's a 47" panasonic widescreen HDTV.
I didn't know the DC had progressive output, but that's even better.
It's not worth $40 though, considering I only paid $20 for the Dreamcast.
