Have a Mac mini that I am creating into a htpc and wanted to know what everyone uses?
Plex, Boxee, XBMC, or something else?

xbmc. I have only one wish that will make it a perfect system, which is to include Airplay capabilities.

I went for Plex too, since I am running MacOS X on my Mini.
If you want something more feature complete, but less polished then XBMC is an alternative.
In addition to Plex, I have StreamToMe and iTunes. StreamToMe allows me to treat my HTPC as my home media server too, watching movies on my iPhone and iTunes allows my to remote control my music from my iPhone too. |
