I recommend VLC. It comes already supporting 99.9% of all media file formats (well, maybe not exactly 99.9, but the only format I've not been able to play on it is WMP9 format). You won't have to download any new codecs to get it to play what you need, plus it plays CDs and DVDs great too. I've used MPlayer and Xine before, but none of them compare, IMO, to VLC. Plus, VLC is cross-platform, so if you ever have to use a different platform (Windows, Mac, BSD, Pocket PC, etc), you can download the version for that OS, and have a familiar media player.
