Question about my new computer

Darn, I just lost a long post, but I'll summarize it. I'm setting up my new computer which has a 1905FP Ultrasharp Flat Panel Monitor. The computer also has a 256MB ATI Radeon X850 XT PE video card. The (idiot proof) instruction sheet for hooking up the monitor suggests that I should use a VGA cable to hook up the monitor to the computer. However, A DVI cable is included and is listed as a less preferred option. A USB cable is also included as an option. My understanding was that DVI delivered a better image than a VGA cable. I'm hoping that someone who is more tech savvy than me can confirm this? Is there any reason I shouldn't use a DVI cable? Is there some odd reason why I should use a USB cable?
