Is a combo HD and Blu-ray dvd player better, same, or worse than a seperate Sony Blu-ray player?

I want to know if it is better to buy a Sony Blu-ray dvd player, or should i buy a combo HD and Blu-ray player. Will the combo player work as good as a normal seperate player or is it better to just buy a Blu-ray player?
