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).
