What problems are you having with each of them? On my 'puter Xine plays DVDs OK, but DivX and VCD causes it to crash (possibly other formats too, I haven't tried), whereas MPlayer plays them fine. Apart from the m4a problem I mentioned MPlayer *seems* to work OK (apart from a error message about fonts which I haven't gotten round to investigating yet, since I only installed it yesterday evening)
Haven't tried Xine on anything other than DVD's.
Mplayer seems to die horribly about half way through some of my DVD's The disks are in perfect condition and the drive is fine. It just seems to fail to find any more data. If I try and use mencoder to rip DVD's I get the same problem. Same disks on same drive are fine on a 32bit Ubuntu machine at work, and fine on this machine using Xine...Very strange
OpenOffice has broken printing on 64bit systems. spadmin will crash if you try and actually use it to set anything and printing to anything other than a file does not seem to work.
This is a known Ubuntu bug I think it was fixed for one update but then broken again on the next.
