I'm far from an expert, but I have both plasma and lcd and, in fact, have used both in a commercial environment. In a fairly recent mall renovation we installed two 42" plasma televisions in a food court and several relatively similar sized lcd's throughout the mall as directories and to remind patrons of our promotions. After three years of use 24/7 the plasma's are showing some signs of dimming while the lcd's, to my eye, look like the day we put them in. If memory serves me, both are rated for something like 50,000 hours of use, but the lcd's seem to go a long time before you see any degradation of picture while the plasma's gradually dim. Also, lcd's use a LOT less power.

LCDs have traditionally only been available in smaller sizes than plasmas; larger ones have become available more recently, but they are expensive.
Pixels on plasma screens are larger, and the space between them wider, which generally makes plasmas more suitable for larger screen sizes than for smaller ones.
Plasma screens do burn very easily, and badly, we have some at work which are about three years old, and will have to be replaced soon for this reason. They are generally not good in applications where they will display static images, text, logos etc. for long periods of time
