The consensus seems to be it's VLC with those disagreeing only doing so because they like the idea of having a quirky new media player instead of the one everyone and their grandmother has heard of by now.
I will give MPV two points of consideration:
1. One time I was running Ubuntu on my machine and for some reason I couldn't get VLC to work correctly on their at all, but MPV worked perfectly. Once I switched back to Windows it was quite literally the opposite in almost the exact same way, which while curious, I've never bothered to explore in-depth.
2. Supposedly there was some kind of video file that allowed malware to be executed through VLC. I don't know what this could have been, if it was patched, or if it's possible through other players such as MPV but it seems to have been a one-off and not something that anyone else has ever encountered. The general consensus being: "Still works on my machine."
As a sidenote: I will say as someone who torrents a lot that there are times when VLC's various settings have come in handy. MPV seems to do fine with re-syncing subtitles, but I have this one torrent of the TV version of Fanny & Alexander where the default dub is the kind where a Russian guy is talking over the whole movie. For some reason the only way to fix this was to open the Advanced Settings and syn a different audio file that way instead of using the regular drop-down menu, and I don't think this would've been possible in MPV.
