I always went with VLC until something got messed up with new laptops nVidia drivers. For whatever reason VLC could not properly use dedicated GPU acceleration with open drivers.
That's when I tried out MPV. I like it, I like the minimalism, I like the CLI. It's been working great so far.
For someone more technical MPV, for anyone else I'd still recommend VLC.
