I would suggest video4all. If HTML5 is supported it uses the HTML5 tags, if not it falls back to Flowplayer. So you have really man features you can use. On one side the HTML5 tags with all the settings and on the other side you have all the flowplayer features, likes Auto-Thumbnailing, etc.

A mix of open source/commercial and Flash/HTML5 options for hosting your own videos:


Flowplayer
OS FLV
FLV Player
f4Player
JW Player
Video JS (HTML5)
Sublime Video Player (HTML5)

If you are not using your site for commercial purposes I think your best best is JW PLayer from Longtail, www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/. It is free for non-commercial purposes and easy to add and integrate with you website.

If you decide to use it on a commercial site it is still pretty in-expensive, costing less than 0 for the most simple plan.

They offer a number players to play most if not all major video types. I used it on the last website I wrote and it was extremely easy to setup.
