I have a Sigmatel player and it's pretty good, except for a few bugs in the playlist function (but it's probably just my firmware). It cannot be killed by an incompatible firmware, you can always restore it easily if you have a backup.
Also, the video quality of Sigmatel players is far superior than that of Actions ones. Although i'd go with a Rockchip if i were you. :P
