On both my systems running NVidia graphic cards, NVDVD 2.55 gives me the best quality & lowest CPU utilization hands down.
 
On non-NVidia cards, Power DVD 5.0 seems the best.

I don't think CPU utilization is as critical as it used to be with slower CPU's however it is nice to see this so you know that the coder(s) have tweaked the app and it's not as resource hungry
 
I personally use Power DVD 4 running thru Windows Media Player 9.xx
