Does xbmc (aeon skin) do 1080 or is it just 720? Im buying a new lcd soon so i can get hd, but wondering if i should go all out for 1080p or will 720p match up better with xbmc?

I played a 1080P video on my ATV with XBMC, choked and gaged all the way.
Even upping my cache files didn't help. I was racking my brain because I didn't know it was 1080P I usually only get 720P files, this one slipped in the mix.
After I loaded it on my Mac and saw it was 1080P everything made sense.

There's a big difference between video content resolution and display resolution. You can have your display resolution set to any valid display resolution and your video content will be "scaled" to the display resolution.
Same thing with skins, they will be "scaled" to the display resolution.
Video content resolution and encoded format (not container) determine that cpu requirements needed to decode the video format. Display resolution means nothing as the video card GPU handles that and any "scaling" required.
The AppleTV can handle low/mid profile h.264 (notice, I say the video format, not the container format) in 720p resolution. It can display that 720p video format in a variety of display resolutions including 1080p.
The difference between 720p and 1080p is roughly a factor of two. The big thing is will you really see that factor of two in a blind test.
