Try both (WMC with Media Browser especially). Use which one you like better.
Probably blashphemy on a XBMC forum but its what I recommend and do personally. I like both.

I read that in the guides. Very in depth, but it seems like that will be what I have to do. Ill just install both and see which one I gravitate more to.

Intel e4600 + AMD HD5450 + Antec NSK2480B case + 4gb ddr2 + Earthwatts 430 + 1.5tb Seagate 7200 + XBMC Rapier Qualar Mod Skin + Win7

I use both. WMC for recording & playback of TV and XBMC for movie playback. I've tried Media Browser several times in the past but always found XBMC to be a much better option IMO. If XBMC was capable of recording encrypted cable then I'd consider dumping WMC.
