LED is a type of LCD. It vastly improves blacks, colors, and contrast for LCD. But it still suffers from motion blur problems. So you need one that is 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rate. The combination of LED and the refresh rate will cost you a LOT.
DLP is a great price option for large sets, but its a dying technology. Only Mitsubishi is still developing sets. Everyone else has walked away. Also, while the overall set is super reliable, you have to constantly replace the bulbs. The bulbs have a life of 1-4 years (depending on bulb and how much TV you watch). You can change them yourself, its easy. But its not cheap. A new bulb is $200-$250 at least. Its got great image quality though (just below plasma) if you're willing to deal with the long term bulb purchases.
LCD vs Plasma
LCD - is the everyman HDTV. It is cost effective, hence its popularity. It is also physically lighter than Plasma. It tends to draw less power than Plasmas as well (though good Plasmas are now competing with LCDs). It has a matte finish so is useful for rooms that have too much ambient light which can not be controlled. LCD whites are a bit brighter than Plasma whites (but how often do you crank your brightness to 100%). LCDs are considered better for gaming (but I don't think you'd be disappointed with gaming on a modern Plasma). LCDs are sharper in SD (think evening news instead of film); this isn't a good vs bad, its just a personal preference thing. LCDs also have a bit more muted colors; again this isn't good vs bad, its purely personal preference.
LCD technology has problems with fast motion though. That is why you see ones advertised with 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rates (100Hz and 200Hz in Europe). This does not come close to Plasma though. So they aren't as good for fast motion (sports and movies). The 240Hz ones are making good strides, but right now you're paying a HUGE premium for it.
LCDs are also not as strong with their ability to reproduce true blacks. Their blacks tend to be a bit grey and not a true black. LCDs with LED backlighting are coming out now though. These are finally starting to bring LCDs to the Plasma level in terms of blacks. However, like the 240Hz refresh rate, you must pay a large premium for this feature at the current time.

What exactly are LED - LCD HDTVs and what is the difference between them and a regular led or LCD tv?
An LCD TV is exactly an LCD screen with fluorescent lighting shining through it. Without the light, you could see very little on the screen. An LED TV is exactly an LCD screen with LEDs behind the LCD screen shining through it. The LED lighting gives more even color and brightness on all pixels, and results in a sharper image with more 'pop'.

Basically ,LED stands for Light Emitting Diode and LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. LCD TV use fluorescent lights while LED TV use those light emitting diodes.
