Both these receivers would be OK and could be beneficial seeing as you only have 1xHDMI on the TV.
Lets say you decide to get Sky HD/DVD player in the future and wanted to connect it via HDMI, but your PS3 is using the only HDMI connection available, you would either have to connect it via component, providing this connection was available to you, or buy a HDMI switchbox, but with the Sony receivers, especially the STRDA1200, this would allow you to connect Sky HD/DVD player and the PS3 to it's HDMI inputs, then you would just connect the 1200 to your TV using its HDMI output. then the receiver does all the switching for you.
Even if you are just running the PS3 for the foreseeable future, there is no reason why you should turn any of these amps down just because of the HDMI switching, you don't have to use them.
