I use a Denon DVD-1600, which is the same as an RP-82 but with "better" DACs. Outstanding player, I picked it up refurbed for about $220 a couple years ago. Good luck finding either of these players, though, they're still very popular.
That Secrets Of Home Theater and Hi-fi site is *superb* I haven't seen another website or magazine test DVD players that thouroughly. Really, what good are video quality tests if the player barfs on common errors in the DVD flags?
Generally, to get good progressive output, you'll need a good deinterlacer, which means DCDi by Genesis/Faroudja, which is generally considered to be the best. DVDO is also very good, however.
