I'd recommend Panasonic but if you can get a free 5 year warranty then any of the major manufacturers should be OK. The sound on most flat panels is generally poor. I opted for a home cinema Blu-ray player system which, when setup correctly, switches the TV sound to the home cinema speakers, much better quality.
You'll probably be disappointed with VHS playback on a flat panel as they generally don't do analogue video very well. I think VHS and to some extent Standard Def freeview are more suited to smaller screens where the lack of resolution is less noticeable.
I'd also suggest to go for a TV with a T2 (HD) tuner as this will future proof your TV if they decide to push all the multiplexes to MPEG4 sometime in the future. The HD picture is also significantly better but make sure the screen is a 1920 x 1080 pixels.
