I have Panasonic BD-65 and it has been great, and not too expensive either

Will a Blu-Ray player also play regular DVDs?

YES! A blu-ray player will be able to play all of your dvd's. I also use my blu-ray player for c.d's as well.

If you don't care about playing Blu-rays, then no reason.

If you have an HDTV and a speaker setup as nice as some Axioms, it becomes incredibly obvious as to why blu-ray

"I have to ask -- why a Blu-Ray player? "
I would turn that around...
Why not Blu-ray?
Blu-ray is the new standard in disk media. It will play your DVDs as well as a top upscaling DVD player. It will play your CDs as well as a CD player. It will do everything a DVD player will do, for about the same amount of money. You can find a Blu-ray player for as little as $98 at Walmart. That is as much as a decent DVD player.
You don't have to buy Blu-rays. You can keep getting DVDs. But if you are buying a player, there is almost no reason at all to buy a DVD player unless saving a few dollars is the most important thing to you. And it isn't since you are buying pretty high end speakers.
I suggest the Onkyo 607 receiver. It will give you the most features for the least amount of money.

What's the size and maximum resolution of your TV. If it can't at least do 720, then it's probably not worth it except that you will be future proofed if you are thinking about a new TV in the next few years. If your TV is going to stay for a few more years, I'd wait around and see what new technologies bring.
