Since this is a Linux/Unix group, and QuickTime is not available for
Linux, I'd suggest you stay away from that.  MPEG is, I think, by far
the easiest video format for Linux and Unix users to view...  There's
a realplayer for Linux but it can be kinda hard to find; many don't
bother.

There are a wide variety of programs for playing MPEG video on Unix
systems, and there are a few for playing some .avi formats (like
DivX).  Xanim and xmms can both play some QuickTime files (with
appropriate plugins or codecs), but not "Sorenson" codec files, which
are what most .mov files are these days...

My preference would be for mpeg, with RealMedia a fairly close second.
As with all data formats, if it's not viewable/usable on Linux, it's
of no use to me...
