I didn't spend much time with the built-in player. But I think there's more advantages than disadvantages by using zp. You can configure it to use the nVidia Purevideo decoders which gives you hardware accelerated playback of ts/mpeg files (uses your video card GPU). My CPU is on the slow side (AMD64 3200), and my cpu usage now hovers around 30%, rather than the 80-90% using a software codec. Not sure if MP can be configured similarly, I didn't spend long with it enough.
I don't use playlists, I usually recombine videos myself, and always rip movies into a single file. You could perhaps make asf playlist files, zp will probably have support for them.
