Well since Blu-Ray has more or less won

I am only concerned with media durability and space and will go with anything that offers that to me at a reasonable price, so far, DVD is fine with me

another thing that you have to think of is that evertyhing oyu have already uses DVD, so to replace it, you will not only need to get a blu-ray hd-dvd player, but also a drive for your pc, one for your music system, etc, etc, and whenever you want to carry some of your struff with you your friends will need to have that too, I only adopt new media when it becomes widely used and something standard, well, you get my point....
