I settled on XBMC after trying out Plex for a while. I found it to be more flexible in the ways I needed it to be, and much more responsive too. Plex absurdly misidentified far too many of my movies and tv shows, and scraped dozens of gigabytes of metadata, fan art and other stuff, nearly all of which was useless to me. Correcting Plex's errors was nearly impossible. If all your stuff is in iTunes or is in iTunes-friendly formats, you might have a much better time with Plex than I did.
