depends on how good the comb filter is in your tv versus the one in dtc-5100 box. actually, an RF connection is never better than pretty much any other connection under any circumstance. however, in this case it would give you the benefit of being able to use the TV's tuner instead of the box's tuner. but you'd only get the analog channels. but if that's not something you're after, i'll tell you what i'd do: my loewe has a fantastic comb filter in it. compared to just about anything else, it's better. what i'm probably going to do is hook up the component for HD and hook up a regular old composite video connection for the SD channels. that's right, composite is better than s-video in this case. why? because the sdtv signal itself is composite. therefore, in order for the box to create an s-video signal, it would just be using its chroma filter. which i seriously doubt is anywhere near as good as the one in my tv. this probably holds true for you too, as i'm assuming the chroma filter in the 5100 is el cheapo. in which case, anyone with a good hdtv will want to use the tv's filter instead. component for hd, composite for sd. if you want to be able to use the tv's tuner (if it's faster and you only ever watch non-digital sd or something), then use rf for sd. i hope that all made sense.
