...which would be top suggestions for "excellent" or "premium" BLU-RAY picture quality performance? I'm not worrying about DVD upscaling for the moment as I just ordered an Oppo 983 to handle that, so what would be my best bet for good Blu-ray performance AND bitstreaming capabilities from this list?

Also what is the difference between the "region" codes?
