I've used a custom-built HD-PVR PC, an XBMC Windows media center, and an Apple TV 2, and a Mac Mini with Plex is by far the best media center I've used yet.
I've got Transmission & Automatic set up to download all my shows within a half hour of them being posted online, and Plex picks them up as soon as they're complete, pulls in all the metadata, and adds it to my Plex libraries. It's almost 100% automated. I set up movie downloads through the Transmission web interface from my iPhone and they get picked up by Plex the same way.
Plex's iOS app is pretty awesome too. It'll transcode anything on the fly so I can watch on my iPad from wherever. It's a pretty good setup.
I'd have liked a bigger HDD in the Mini or an easier upgrade method but that's the only con I can find.
