It is true that the discs frequently look awful, but I've only had playback issues on a couple of occasions. As for the throttling, not that I have noticed, I average 1-2 movies/week though, probably not on the high end of the spectrum. For me, Netflix is great, as it is completely flexible, and the selection is unmatched. I have dozens of movies, documentaries, and music dvds in my queue I would never see anywhere locally, and the ability to get HD is a major plus.
