I think mplayer will give better picture (with some postprocessing
filters), but you'll have to use either DVI, analog VGA or YCbCr
component output on your video card, also in the last two cases you'll
have to use good video card and good cables.

Stand-alone dvd player has many advantages over mplayer, but it can't
generate more quality in picture than it already has. The rest is up to
filters and output. Mplayer will win filters part, so quality of outputs
decides it all.
