I watch a lot of HD MKV files, VLC is superior for HD content.

C. Media player classic. I find VLC does some weird thing with the video quality that I don't like. MPC does everything I need/want it to.

WMP + a codec pack (like K-Lite) for videos. VLC is good because it already has its codecs, but they are inferior with respect to speed and scaling.
Neither for music, I like WinAMP or foobar2000 better because of customization, more comfortable playlist use and enqueuing.

I mostly use WMP for both video and music, but when I need to play MKV's or other formats that's not supported I use VLC.

VLC is fucking terrible. 
 
If it's for audio, use WMP, if it's for video, just download CCCP.

I use both. Then I use Zune for music, 'cause it's way more RAD.

VLC, it's gotta be, with iTunes for music. I value VLC's adaptability and iTunes' organisation.

VLC doesn't work very well on my laptop for some reason, and WMP works fine so I don't really care.

VLC for mkv
 
MPC-HC for the rest of the videos (it's all about FFDshow)
 
Winamp for audio (it's all about Volume Logic)

CCCP.
  
It's more of a codec pack but it never fails to play videos unlike VLC. It actually gives you an option to use pretty much any player but I use the Windows Media Classic that comes with it.
 
Once you get CCCP, you'll know that VLC is pretty garbage.

But in my experience VLC is the best player for MKV files. Sure CCCP will allow them on other players, but the performance is nowhere near as smooth. At least since last time I tried CCCP.

VLC has the GPU acceleration now, that's a nice boost for those with decent graphics cards.

WMP. For some reason VLC likes to screw up the video for a brief second when I skip to another part of the video.

I'll mainly use VLC but certain times, sure, I'll use WMP. I'm not a "VLC Purist" or whatever. But I've got it and use it quite often. The range of file support is great.
