I mostly use, and voted for, VLC. But I tried Dragon Player the other night and that seems OK too.

SMPlayer:

I like the GUI presentation. It provides GUI access to the most important mPlayer playback optons. By default it remembers the position I left a movie when last played. The screen controls are intuitive and large enough to use with a keyboard or IR remote.

Kaffeine, because it does everything that Xine does plus DVB. Also, I like the UI.
