OPlayer HD's advantage is price ($4.99 vs $8.99). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

OPlayer HD costs $4.99 and nPlayer Plus $8.99 up front. OPlayer HD sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and nPlayer Plus sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
