From what I hear, the Apex region-free players are good considering the price. You can always pay more for a better player, but since you want a region-free player it'll cost ya a lot more than a standard player with tons of bells and whistles would. A brand that comes to mind is Malata.
Unless you watch a lot of Region 2 or other region dvd's, your best bet might be to get a hold of a region-free DVD-ROM drive for your computer, or at least one with a hackable BIOS, along with a cracked copy of Power DVD 4 (I don't have either one, but I've read that both can be found easily) and watch your non-region 1 dvd's that way - I'm sure it would be a much cheaper option than a stand-alone player.
