Due to the fact I can't afford the official ones, what is a better alternative brand. And I know some of you are going to say stick to VGA.

Just get a Official VGA Box, it has a built in S-Video Out for it, you just need S-Video/VGA cables to connect out from the box...basically a 2/1 solution

I can personally recommend the ones from Performance, easily found on ebay for $10 or less. For some reason the s video plug on them is yellow, but it is real s video and not composite, and the picture/sound quality is good as far as s video goes.
