If it's only a couple of bucks, I usually go with the blu ray. If it's more than around five bucks or more, I go with the dvd. When I purchased Barry Lyndon, the blu ray was around $28, the dvd only $15, so I got the dvd. But recently I purchased the blu ray of Hopscotch for around $20 and the dvd was $15. I thought it was worth paying a little extra. Blu rays are better quality discs, won't scratch as easily and are easier to store.
I also purchased the Indiana Jones films on blu ray for the first time a few days back and there is a noticeable difference in the clarity of the film. It was an Amazon special for less than the dvd set, at around $23.
Watching Star Trek the Next Generation on blu ray is a massive difference compared to the dvds, too. I bought season 3 for only about $20 on blu ray compared to $15 for the dvd. The upgrade in quality was so noticeable I then spent around $40 for season 4 on blu ray compared to $15 for the dvd.
And I will likely do the same for seasons 5-7. I haven't decided if I will buy the first two seasons.
