Best codec for WD TV unit?

Hey there.

I'm planning on picking up a WD TV hard drive unit to play ripped movies through the TV. The question is, which codec would be good to rip to for near DVD quality playback with the lowest possible file size?

The WD TV handles the following codecs:

MPEG1/2/4, WMV9, AVI (MPEG4, Xvid, AVC), H.264, MKV, MOV (MPEG4, H.264),
MTS, TP, TS.

I'm thinking maybe Xvid, but is there a better choice?

Thanks,
Bobbo :-)
