Actually, I think that the best thing to do would be to detect what the browser has, and use whatever's there transparently. If Canvas is there, use it. If not, try SVG. If there's no SVG, try VML. If there's no suitable graphics system in the browser, signal the user to download and install a canvas plugin (kind of like what happens when people don't have Flash installed).
