I think both Oppo and Marantz offer a great deal of capability and a couple of different performance points.
The only outstanding issue would be how do you prefer your sound? Are you using your player as a HDMI based transport for music and videos, or is the player expected to decode audio as well?
In the Oppo world as best as I can tell this will be either the 103 or the 105 choice. The 103 is meant to be a great HDMI based transport and decent but not spectacular sound. The 105 is like the 103 but adds in a great DAC and analog section (and balanced outputs for stereo).
THe Marantz has a similar structure for the universal players - but it is a bit harder to tell their features since the information isn't as available on line.
I have been investigating as well.
