look tbh mate brands are good for peace of mind, but no name brands are no worse, i have a 50" soniQ plasma and i have NEVER had a problem with it in the 2 years ive had it. not even a dead pixel. and although they dont advertise it as much as the others mine came with a free 12 month warranty and for my own piece of mind i payed the extra 63 bucks to extend it to three years. if i were you id hit up a generic brand as long as the picture is good Quality then there's usually no problem.

on the brand side of thing. my parents own a samsung 50" for the same amount of time and they also have never had an issue, the only difference being mine was 2 grand cheaper...your choice

as for the "screen image retention" thats what they call it. yes it will if your silly enough to leave it on for more than 2 hours with the same image, like a desktop or frozen image. but most plazmas have a "force white" function that basically turns the screen white for a chosen period of time untill the image fades. this is not an issue after the first 12 months when it usually takes 6-12 hours for my plasma to hold an image. even then it can be forced white'd away by leaving it on force white for about 2 hours

might seem long time but its worth not having a ghost while your watching movies or tv. also expect not to have to pay for heating anymore, they get hot
