I would say none.

The PS3 is still probably the most "complete" player on the market, but no BD player currently comes close to the XA2's upconversion capabilities. So, if that's important, you may want to wait.

Also, it seems that he current crop of BD players either bitstream or decode the new audio formats, but not both. I got one that can decode since I don't have a next-gen receiver yet, but I'll have to buy another player when I upgrade my AVR. So, keep that in mind.

The Panny BD50 (or one of the new Sony models) is probably one to look at for your new HT.
