Is that the 2.8" screen? If so, it's a little big for my design right now and I'm not sure if the libraries would transfer over easily with my screen, but I'll be looking into that too!
SPD5408 is a pretty common TFT. The ones I have are 2.4" screens on a shield. I mention SPD5408 in particular, because there is a large community driven library that has been released specifically for the SPD5408 that enhances the capabilities over what is available in the Adafruit TFT module.
If you're looking at using Adafruit GFX library for drawing the images in code, it should have 16 bit colour, and would be a pretty simple matter of either drawing shapes, lines or individual pixels. This would be probably the easiest and fastest method as no SD Card required, and should be extremely quick to render.
