Most people will not see a difference between Bicubic 75 AR, Lanczos 3 AR, or Jinc 3 AR chroma.
It also depends what your display is doing - many process in 4:2:2, so anything above Bicubic 75 AR is wasted.
If you search through my post history, you should be able to find some detailed comparisons that illustrate the worst-case scenarios for chroma. (red text on black)
The short version is to use one of the three options I listed above. Use Jinc 3 if your display is capable of showing 4:4:4 and you have the GPU power spare, but in most cases, you won't even see the difference there. I would be happy using Bicubic 75 AR.

Thanks, I was hoping you'd throw out a few tips
I always enjoy and certainly appreciate all the testing and posts you've made re: scaling.
You've given me good food for thought. I have Jinc 3+AR for both on my main HTPC (core i5, Radeon HD 6670 w/ 1GB GDDR 5). I'll turn off AR for Chroma and see how that looks.
On the Intel HD Graphics system in question Jinc 3+AR for Chroma disrupted the rendering, but I haven't had a chance to try it without AR. When I've time, I'll try it and the others you mention. It's mostly a TV PC (US digital through a Ceton InfiniTV 4), and most video files watched are low-res, so I end up with Soft Cubic ##+AR for Image.
TV is an LG 42LD550.
Anyway, thanks again
