PS1 games on PS3 on CRT TV

Actually prefer the the sharper quality S-Vid provides over anything Component offers to software that doesn't support 480p. As a matter of fact, I still prefer Svid over component even for games that do make use of it. Prog Scan thru PS2 looks awful.

s-video still has color bleed. I'm not sure why you'd actually think it's sharper than just going over component, which should look much better even with resolutions of 480i or lower.

Yeah, I'm really confused about that (HOW is S-video sharper even with only 480i??)
The only thing I can think of is either the PS2 artificially smooths the component output and not the S-video output, or the settings on your TV for the component input are different than the S-video input.

My experience is that PS2 / Component is better than PS3 / Component played on same WEGA CRT.

I played R-Type Delta both ways. (Good test since R-Type is bascially replaying levels over and over again.)

PS3, while looking great, nevertheless had noticeable blur in effects like explosions on Level 1 and WaterFall early on Level 2.

PS2 was clean and accurate. No blur.

As far as I could tell, the gameplay was equivalent (didn't feel any lag either way) and honestly, the visual differences were not enough to impact the game.

It's just that the the PS2 seems to output very clean PS1 games, which makes sense since my understanding is that the initial PS2 had PS1 hardware built in, with the added advantage of being able to output in component if you chose to do so.

Highly recommend that route.

Kratos would like a word with you.

why did they have to make a complicated combination to enable 480p, wouldn't just holding x or o on startup be suffice like it is one the Gamecube?

Or his component cables suck.

You're best off actually with component cables from a ps2 on a CRT. Ps1 games won't display in proper 240p on the ps3, everything is bumped up to 480i minimum by default. Plus compatibility is a little better on ps2, but whether that matters depends on what games you're playing.

Yep, that's what I would recommend as well. PS2 with component cables.
