Unless you have everything lined up perfectly, you'll really appreciate lens shift. Make sure it can handle 1080p/60. My strong preference is for 3 LCD models. DLP projectors drive me nuts because on most models I can see the color flashes. (commonly called "rainbows")
I have this one below. It is kick ass. Has vertical and horizontal lens shift, nice auto iris, great brightness, good black levels, it's almost dead quiet (super very important... Smaller projectors tend to be noisy), has a good air filter system (part of the reason it's so quiet), and great zoom range. Its not portable, little bigger and heavier than most... But it's designed to be a home theater projector, not a office projector that you can play movies on. This one is a factory refurb, but the price is great bang for the buck.

No experience with it, but looks good.
In my opinion, unless you are taking the time to build a vented box or hide it away somehow, noise is a critical issue. This thing is pretty much over your head the entire movie, it may be the best projector ever, but a screaming fan is very distracting and a dealbreaker for me. "Organic panel" LCD, 1080p/60 resolution is next, decent brightness is next. Lens shift is very nice to have if you like your image dialed into the screen perfectly. After all that, then worry about black levels and all the other stuff.
Just my opinion. I'm fairly happy with my home theater, and have been playing around with this stuff for a while.
