Default in dash dvd pros and cons

Those of you who have in-dash dvd/cd players (flip out) what are the pros and cons of these? Would you buy one again or do you regret it? How often do you use the dvd player? Is it better to go with a high end stereo HU?

Also if you have the DD nav/dvd etc what are pros..any cons? They are just a little more expensive so just trying to get an idea which one is overall better or worse..thanks

I have a cheap jensen and i would much rather have a double. Although the jensen has worked very well for being so cheap.

Running a small 10" kicker and some new boston accoustic speakers that are powered off the deck. I just want something with iPod capability, bluetooth for my phone, more audio adjustability and a big volum **** or switch

I've got a JVC dvd. Not a flipout. the screen is too small for videos anyways. I only use it when I'm waiting for someone in a parking lot.

The best part of it is the built in bluetooth, ipod control, dvd mp3...

If I were you I would just go that route. Most of us with flip outs seem to be wanting to go that way eventually.
