Default Need help with what Player to buy for Dad

Sorry but I'm trying to get a player for my dad and I know he doesn't have a huge AV system there. He just has a tv and he needs/wants a player that will play his huge DVD collection that is good enough for him right now.

If you don't have a receiver then what type of Bluray Player do you NEED?

One that decodes all the various codecs? Or one that bitstreams?

I need to know what method results in the best picture and sound....Bitstreaming or Decoding?

Right now I've narrowed the list down to the:

Samsung BD-P2550 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player
Samsung BD-P2550 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player
Panasonic DMP-BD35K 1080p Blu-Ray Player
Samsung BD-P1500 1080p Blu-ray Player

And what player would you recommend for his setup? And last but not least I know that you need to have this connected by ethernet to take advantage of the BD Live but my problem is that the wireless router my dad has is on the 2nd floor and the player will be the 1st floor.

How do I get around that?
