on a 32" set you will see a big difference between 50 and 100Htz. Go for the 100Htz if you can afford it.
On 28" and lower 100Htz is not that much better.

Go for the 100hz. It will be a lot easier on the eye.

If you don't look straight at a standard TV you will notice the flicker of the refresh rate, where as you won't with the 100hz.
