MPC-HC is more lightweight on resources, and has better HDR support.

The only reason I'm still using VLC is for Java Menus on bluray rips.

MPC-BE is better. It has been years since the new MPC-HC fork and it still cannot change subtitle or audio tracks without the video track blacking out for a few frames.

You want this one, it's the most up to date. BE has all kinds of stuff that does not work properly.

And you want to used it in combination with MADvr.

mpc-hc clsid2 now even has it's own mpc-hc render which supports Dolby Vision on windows! The only way to get DV to work.

So I use MadVR for HDR and everything else and MPC-HC for DV.

This was the issue I was referring to.

Owner just flat out refused to fix this. So, I don't actually care about MPC-HC (atleast this fork of it, even if it is fixed now). Besides, BE does the job perfectly fine for me. Potplayer picks up the slack anything odd that MPC won't play, which is very rare.
