Setups/workflows to capture the highest quality version of your work?

Pre-edit: copy and pasting this post from another thread.

I was talking to a friend the other day about noise scene stuff, and she was remarking about how musicians who are doing tape loops of dripping faucet sounds or whatever always take “getting serious about their music” as their cue to switch genres, but not finesse the art of tape loops of dripping faucet sounds. That got me thinking about my work, and what it would look like if I wasn’t recording everything to VHS and then digitizing in SD. So, basically, what would a clean HD version of my dirty images look like?

This wiki is a great start, but I’m wondering what setup/workflow y’all use to capture the highest quality version of your work? I have a BlackMagic Intensity, but that only captures in SD since I’m using SD outputs. I’m eyeing an Extron from the Hardware wiki, hoping that upscaling to component and then sending that component to the BlackMagic Intensity will not only allow me to capture in HD, but it will be a vast improvement over editing in SD and exporting in HD via Premiere.
