I vote for VLC myself.

They all will do the job.  I don't like Mplayer because it's got a
butt-ugly GTK1 Interface.  The same is true for Xine-UI.   If I use Xine
I use other front ends for it like Kaffeine or Totem-Xine.

But overall VLC is my fave (especially now that it's gone to wxWidgets.
It blends in nicely anywhere).
