Again... my question is 'WHY'? Core's good for video but is crap for sound, IMO - at least, its playlist features aren't nearly as complete as the competition's. Pocket Player 3's great for sound, but a CPU hog and is so-so with videos. WMP is functional, has AVCRP support right out of the box... and that's it.

It depends on what you do - if you do primarily videos, then Mort and a lot of the others you've listed won't play them at ALL. If you do audio... that's another story. And that's the problem with this poll - you're trying to compare apples, oranges, and bananas, and in doing so risk shutting out some very good players because they can't handle all the media you're throwing at them. Heck, WMP can't handle MKV or MP4 files, which leaves CorePlayer as the sole survivor... but as noted earlier, I think it's horrible as an audio player. TCPMP also has its own issues there (I watched it crash repeatedly while being used as an audio player).
