My Sony lets me PIP anything hooked up too.

Since you have enough inptus, I don't see any benefit at all, of running everything through the receiver. The ONLY difference is that video and audio are both selected at the same time, and that isn't a gain if you lose PIP. IMO, I wouldn't bother using a higher level connection for game systems unless it was also being used for DVDs anyway. S-vid and component have the same basic resolution, though color will be better via component.
