I like mplayer for cli stuff and xine for gui. Mainly because the cli
stuff I do is downloading and converting streams from wma/rm to
wav/ogg/mp3, etc. and I use the gui for watching videos and such. 

Xine won't do the stream conversion that mplayer can, from what I have
seen. And I prefer the layout of the controls on Xine better than
Mplayer.

Just my $0.02. YMMV.

HTH,
Jacob
