HDMI cables are universal, maplin to a nice cheap one for £5 which will be fine, the general feeling is that a cheap HDMI cable vs high end offers little noticable differance in quality. Having used QED £75 cables and the cheap ones i can't recommend the extra spend.
The advantage with these cables is they allow 2 way traffic which allows devices to detect the highest supported resolution of your screen this makes set up much simpler, however do adjust your screen settings to what suits yourself, typically reducing the contrast and brightness.

VGA and Component cables will not give you as good a picture and will typically cost more.

Array
does not support true high resolution images
Neither does component which splits the image signal into 3 components for reduced interferance and higher quality.
For blue ray and if you have tv that supports 1080p resolution you must use HDMI.

HD is frequently misused in description often to sell poor quality products
