Hi kentd34,
Welcome to our AR family.

I prefer DD or DTS in inhanced mode. This will give you all 7.1.

It's OK. I would be happy with it, if was all I had. To me the DD and DTS enhanced sound better. You should try each of them and use the one that sounds best to you. Not everyone hears things the same.

it also depends if you are setup like THX recommends...that is, are all of your speakers set to small? do you have a sub? are all speaker cutoff (Hz) set to 80? If all of these questions are 'yes' then give them a try.
I just purchased a AVR with THX and am trying various sound formats...I have the above setup so it's fun to try all the choices. You paid for them.
