HDMI will be a cleaner, digital signal, versus VGA being analog.  Both
may overscan depending on your television but if you have any hope of
eliminating overscan it will be on HDMI.  HDMI will carry audio.  In
short, unless you have a reason not to, use HDMI.

HDMI is 19 pins (4 than DB15), by the by, not just one.
