Both HDMI or Component will provide either 720p or 1080i resolution. If your TV can handle 1080p, you'll have to use HDMI. If you plan on using Component, the PS3 uses the same output jack as a PS2 so you can pick up the cables made for it and save money. I'd suggest using HDMI if you can though.

Yes, HDMI carries audio and video. So that should be all you need.

I think the thing people complain about with is that TV's that only support 480p and 1080i, it will not convert a 720p image to a 1080i (like the 360).
I hooked mine up like this:
HDMI from PS3 to TV
OPTICAL (sound) from TV to receiver
This worked just fine for me, as I had to play with a few settings to get all the sound to output correctly.
If you have a HDMI receiver, that would be even better.
